Summary
As a language mentor for a secondary school student, you work together on a weekly basis on (Dutch) language skills and reading pleasure in a creative way.Detailed description
The language mentorship is intended for secondary school students where language skills are an obstacle. The pupil is linked to a voluntary language mentor for a school year. Together they work with language in a creative way. For example, by going to the library together, reading books or playing language games.
The language mentor aims to stimulate the child's language skills and reading pleasure through individual attention. The language mentors are committed volunteers who love language themselves and enjoy teaching young people something. They receive training from Taal Doet Meer and guidance from a voluntary coordinator, so that they can do their job well. Weekly supervision by the language mentor takes place at the family home, so that the parents are involved and they receive tools to work on language skills together with their child.
