Students read to rescued cats

Students from a Guernsey secondary school are practising their literacy skills by reading to cats at the island's animal shelter.

Les Beaucamps pupils read to the cat Mr B, who was found as a stray with high blood pressure which led to him losing his sight.

Student Neva said: "It's been wonderful, he's been very calm and he's been purring."

Lisa Harvey, inclusivity manager at Beaucamps, said: "The reading out loud really helps with their fluency, it also really helps with their social communication and interaction skills."
