The Babb's Reading Clinic.
We are proud to continue our support of The Babb’s Reading Clinic, an initiative dedicated to improving literacy and life skills among young boys preparing to enter Secondary School.
Founded by Dr. Astra Babb, the Clinic has been operating for eight years and continues to make a lasting impact. Specialist tutors offer free instruction in key areas of literacy development, including phonemic awareness, structural analysis, and reading comprehension. Participants also benefit from engaging activities such as problem-solving exercises and educational field trips.
“The Babb’s Reading Clinic is extremely grateful to Scotiabank Barbados for its ongoing collaboration. Beyond financial support, their employees have taken the time to educate our boys in financial planning and career readiness. The boys truly enjoyed the session this year and were excited to learn from the Scotiabank team.” - Dr. Astra Babb.
