Abstract

The overarching aim of the Love Reading Mentoring project is to encourage primary school learners to develop an intrinsic motivation for reading. The initial pilot project has been delivered through the medium of English to encourage reading in English. This pilot was designed to trial project methodologies and processes and to assess their impact. An interim external evaluation report is therefore due in January 2024, and a full report due in March 2024 to evaluate the success of the project. However, early discussions were had with Welsh Government to explore how such a project could be extended to support motivation for reading in Welsh if future cycles are commissioned. This report therefore explores a range of considerations for the development of a comparable project to support Welsh reading motivation. It was acknowledged in the initial scoping of the English language project that a translation of the English project to Welsh would not be sufficient. Rather, a Welsh language project will need to be designed to fit the specific needs of the Welsh language.
