EMPATHY.
Empathy is the understanding of
others and their situations. This
often can be of great use in the
rehabilitation of inmates. It is
helpful in becoming aware of
how actions can affect victims.

AWARENESS.
To read is to practice awareness
of situations that we would
never usually experience in our
normal life's. This can lead to a
growing sense of self
awareness.

RESPECT.
Respect is a big tool in life and
the reading group is based on
respect. We practice this
respect when listening to each
other, also when encouraging
the progression of the group.

CONFIDENCE.
As many of the group start they
hold back. Then as the weeks
roll by they offten build in
confidence. This is wonderful
to watch as it grows. Offten we
have issues that involve the
lack of confidence feeling that
we can be of less value than
others. Building confidence can
tackle this issue

Tuesday reading group was my
1st session I am looking
forward to next R&R. The first
time I attended, we read a
story. We stopped part way
through that story and Alex
asks us questions, it’s a good
way to see if everybody is
paying attention and listening.

Tuesday reading group is a very
good way to interact with
stories. I will be looking forward
to my next session as I find the
atmosphere to be very relaxed.
We all get involved in the
evaluation of the story, making
our opinion count. This enables
us to better understand the
stories we read.

Throughout the weeks I’ve been
in the group, I have seen a
change in myself. I have never
read any books for pleasure,
let alone in front of people.
The reading group has given
me confidence to read out
aloud. When Alex asks for
readers, I always put myself
forward to help build on this
confidence.

Sometimes I do struggle with
certain words, but I find the
group to be patient and
understanding towards my
difficulties. I do continue to
struggle at times but I feel that
I am making progress. R&R
has opened new avenues to
build on my understanding of
books and I am grateful for
that.

What I came to realise at R&R
was that some people can read
better than others. In the R&R
group this did not matter as we
are encouraged to help each
other. I enjoy the feedback on
the stories the lads give
because the group is getting
different opinions throughout
the session.

It was my first reading group I felt
a bit of apprehension at first, at
least until the others gave
constructive feedback to each
other. I then found I was able
to interject myself into the
group dynamics and enjoyed
this immensely.

I have actually started to read for pleasure as well as Tuesday group. Now I look forward to each R&R session. I have never read out aloud to anyone before, the atmosphere in group was so laid back that it helped my confidence.
I decided to throw myself in the deep end and came out of it chuffed with myself.

I was made to feel very welcome
by the group members. What I
did notice, is the understanding
people have when one person
comes across words they
struggle with. Nobody over
talks that person while he is
trying to understand the word
in question.

I have attended four sessions of
R&R now. I decided to attend
this group because I was
suffering in silence with parts
of my reading and got to know
about R&R through word of
mouth. As I was struggling to
read in general the lads
explained what R&R could do
to help.

I would encourage anybody to
join the group as I have come
on in leaps and bounds. My
reading and self confidence
have grown beyond what I
would have expected. In the
future I will be taking
advantage of R&R and all that
it has to offer.

Since attending reading group on
Tuesday afternoon I have
found a side to my character
that I did not know that I had.
This has given me a better
understanding about works of
literature. Macbeth was
something that was above my
understanding, but this is not
the case.

We would take it in turns to read
out to the group. I find this to
be responsible for the surge in
confidence I have witnessed in
the lads. We support each
other in the process of
personal development. The
group is very unique in my
mind and I hope to play a
active role in the future.
