Any suggestions for a present for my reading partner?


Recommended Posts

I volunteer through work as a reading partner in a primary school in Tower Hamlets. I am really proud of the progress my partner has made during the acedemic year and would like to buy him a present that would build on what he's achieved so far.


It's our last session on 10 July and was thinking of getting a literacy game of some kind but am at a loss as to where to start. He's in year 1 and is six years old. I don't think his family speak English as a first language at home, so maybe something he can play by himself? Or possibly something the whole family could play? He doesn't have any older siblings.


Thanks

I love the look of this co-operative board game, am planning on getting it for my son this year but it's 5+ so should be fab for a six year old. Not specifically literacy but a lovely concept and no 'winning' if you see what I mean!

    • FH is so much greener and IMO nicer than ED, sorry. Less commercialised.  The Great North Wood, Hornimans Gardens, Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill ) yep, some of that borders ED, so split between the two) 
    • Tesco sell pudding rice https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254877391   And as for olive oil, my preference is the Spanish 2L cans in Sainsbury, it has a real nice peppery taste, not bland like the Italian one's I've tasted, but that's personal preference I suppose. 
    • It feels like a group who don't believe that private motoring should be discouraged and have no answers to the air quality problem, whereas the original Cleanairdulwich are campaigning to reduce pollution. Sadly we live in a world where if you are rich, you will generally live in nicer houses, have nicer environments and cleaner air.  That is capitalism for you, but I doubt whether there would be greater health equality in the former Soviet Union either.  Dulwich village was once full of industrialists and the like who didn't want to live in polluted central London where most would have made their money.  I will contact Cleanairdulwich and hopefully provide a better perspective.  Whether it is one individual or a whole community I support agree with what they are doing.  
    • ??? When they refer to "all Dulwich", I took that to mean including the residents of the streets where the traffic has been directed into due to the LTNs, which are presumably experiencing greater pollution/stress,  whereas the "privileged few" in the LTN areas are experiencing lower pollution due to less traffic. Hence the reference to inequality. Sorry if I've got the terminology wrong.
