RHAGLEN DARLLEN ADEG COFRESTRU
Dwywaith yr wythnos, bydd tiwtoriaid yn darllen i Flwyddyn 7 ac 8 yn ystod cofrestru foreol. Rydym yn darllen amrywiaeth o straeon er mwyn annog darllen ar gyfer mwynhad a hybu gwybodaeth a dealltwriaeth disgyblion. Mae nifer o’r llyfrau hefyd yn cefnogi’r cwricwlwm trwy wneud cysylltiadau rhwng syniadau a themau sy’n cael eu hastudio mewn gwersi.
Pam ydym yn annog darllen ar gyfer mwynhad?
Mae darllen yn datblygu hyder ac yn gwella hunan-barch
Gall darllen galluogi pobl ifanc i ddeall materion cymhleth.
Mae darllen yn cynyddu empathi
Mae darllen yn bleserus, hwyl ac yn gyfle i ymlacio.
Mae darllen yn allweddol ar gyfer cyrhaeddiad academaidd yn yr ysgol ond mae darllen ar gyfer mwynhad hefyd yn mynd ymhellach.
Ceir manylion am y llyfrau isod. Anogwn rieni a gwarcheidwaid i drafod y llyfr gyda’u plant.

TUTOR READING PROGRAMME
Twice a week, Year 7 and 8 pupils will be read to in their tutor groups during morning registration. We read a range of stories with the aim of encouraging reading for pleasure and boosting student knowledge and understanding. Many of the books also complement the curriculum by drawing links to ideas, themes and figures studied in lessons.
Why do we encourage reading for pleasure?
Reading develops confidence and improves self-esteem
Reading can help young people to understand complex issues from the safe fictional world of a book
Reading is proven to increase empathy
Reading is enjoyable, fun and relaxing, (for fluent readers if they have the right book)
Reading is vital for academic attainment in school but reading for pleasure goes beyond this and stretches through a person’s life.
Details of book titles and storylines can be found below. We encourage you to discuss the relevant book with your child. You can find helpful tips about talking about books with your child here.
