One of the programs that Mentakab Mentor Jimmy is starting in his schools is an Early Morning Reading Program. In this program, students are placed in pairs or small groups one morning each week. They are given books and read to each other.

In these pairs or groups, there is one student that has as firm grasp on reading and one or more students that are still in the process of advancing their reading skills. The skilled reader is a "mentor" and will receive a badge showing that they are a "PAL". These students will help the other students read by guiding them and reading to them.

The program was initiated this week at TELL2 school SK Bangau. The TELL2 English teachers involved in preparing and making this event a success were Mr. Rafi, Ms. Suhana, and Ms. Afzan.

The event was successful and the students had a great time reading with their PALs! Hopefully, this program will continue on in the future!
