Show Us How: A School-Wide Programme for Reluctant Readers

Westerns Springs College in Auckland, New Zealand is an inner city coeducational secondary school of 670 multicultural and diverse students. Achievement test results in reading comprehension and vocabulary grouped students at the top and bottom of the scale. Reading was identified as a significant barrier to learning and in 1997 staff agreed to begin sustained silent reading (SSR) in conjunction with a peer reading program for those students who needed support.
