Reading is very important at Sunnybrow Primary School. Our Reading Ambassadors provide a children’s voice in how we promote reading throughout the school.
They have been chosen for their love of reading and their enthusiasm to share this with others. Meet our wonderful Reading Ambassadors:
They are all working hard to help to promote reading across our school in lots of different ways.
Assemblies
The ambassadors have recently delivered a whole-school assembly to explain their role, communicate key messages about reading to the school and share all of the wonderful ideas they have to develop reading across our school.
Author Day
We are looking forward to welcoming Liz Million into our school. Liz will be visiting us to share what it is like to be an author and an illustrator.
The Library
They are helping to look after the library and classroom reading corners by keeping them tidy and helping to choose recommended reading books that they think other children might like to read. They have also creating a display for ‘Recommended Reads’ for KS1 and for KS2.
Listening to others
Listening to younger children read or reading stories to them is another part of their role. Our ambassadors support reading across school every week. They have a timetable of children to read with regularly. They share their love of reading anything (newspapers, magazines, comics, sports reports) with other children and help them to choose books that they will enjoy.
Book Club
We are holding a book club every fortnight on a Thursday lunchtime in school. This is a chance for children to read with our Reading Ambassadors in our library.
Reading challenges
To promote reading for pleasure and to expand the range of books that children read, they have launched a reading challenge for all pupils.
