Bíonn deacrachtaí tromchúiseacha ag páiste amháin as gach deichniúr i scoileanna na hÉireann leis an litearthacht. I roinnt scoileanna faoi mhíbhuntáiste, tá sé seo chomh hard le beagnach duine as gach triúr. Bíonn tionchar fadtéarmach aige seo ar shaol páistí.
Oibrímid le comhpháirtithe corparáideacha chun tacaíocht aghaidh ar aghaidh bunaithe ar oibrithe deonacha a sholáthar do leanaí idir 8-12 bliana d’aois:
Online
Reading sessions take place over video call. Both the child and volunteer have a copy of the same book.
San fhíorshaol
Volunteers visit the school and read with their Reading Buddy face-to-face.
For TY Coordinators
If you are a TY coordinator or school staff member interested in running the Léigh Liom Reading Buddy Programme with your Transition Year students, we’d love to hear from you.
We’ll support you with training, resources, and matching with a local primary school.
TY students take part by reading one-to-one with a primary school child — either online or in person — helping to build literacy skills and confidence.
For Primary Schools
If you are a primary school teacher, principal, or part of school leadership and would like to bring the Reading Buddy Programme to your students, please get in touch.
We’ll work with you to coordinate timelines, provide all materials, and link you with trained volunteers (either TY students or other community members) to support pupils aged 8–12 with reading.

D'Oibrithe Deonacha
We welcome volunteers from both the general public and our network of corporate partners across Ireland.
Reading Buddy offers a rewarding opportunity to support a young child’s literacy journey by reading together one-to-one for just 60 minutes a week over 8 weeks – either in-person or online.
Whether you’re an individual looking to give back or an organisation interested in employee volunteering, we’d love to hear from you.
Get in touch to discuss how to get started, including application and Garda Vetting, training, scheduling, and any other questions you may have.
“It was great to see his confidence build from the first session where he was so much quieter and even speaking to me was nervous, to our last couple of sessions where he was so confident and like it is nice to see that when you give someone a bit of time and encouragement their confidence does build.”
Seisiúin Cairde Léitheoireachta
Is spás iad na seisiúin 30 nóiméad inar féidir leis an dalta léamh os ard dá Chara Léitheoireachta, a chuidíonn leo le focail nó abairtí deacra, agus a spreagann agus a mholann siad as an léitheoireacht.
Pléann siad cad atá ag tarlú sa leabhar, na codanna den leabhar is fearr leis an dalta, agus cad a cheapann siad a tharlóidh ina dhiaidh sin.
Cabhraíonn sé seo go léir le caidreamh dearfach a chothú, agus forbraíonn sé scileanna tuisceana an dalta agus méadaíonn sé an mhuinín atá acu as a gcumas féin.
“Bhí sé cosúil leis an gcaoi ar chuidigh m’athair liom scéal a léamh san oíche, agus mar sin a bhí sé. Bhí sé cosúil le duine a bheith ag léamh in aice leat san fhíorshaol”
Do Dhaoine Óga
Is féidir le bheith cruthaitheach digiteach cabhrú le príomhscileanna agus inniúlachtaí a fhorbairt a chothaíonn deiseanna agus conairí foghlama, ionas gur féidir le gach duine óg a dtodhchaí féin a chruthú go muiníneach.
