Reading Ambassadors

Say hello to our new Reading Ambassadors! The group were selected by Mrs. Holford based on their eagerness to support others and their interest in reading.
 
The group will look to support school's target of making every child a reader and their role will include managing the library, creating competitions, supporting young readers to listening and reading to them read, buying books to keep the library stocked and making sure each class has a library slot.
 
The group have already worked on a St. John's Reading Manifesto which they presented to the school during an assembly. The manifesto can also be found in each classroom by area. The manifesto (which is worded differently for each Key Stage) looks a little like this:
 
  • Read as many different types of books as you can – books give you language, thoughts, ideas and feelings.
  • Books are adventures waiting to happen – they can take you to faraway places, introduce you to new cultures and help you discover more about the world around you.
  • Books help you to walk in other people’s shoes and to see things from someone else’s point of view.
  • Share your reading joy! Talk about books, recommend them to friends and most importantly, choose stories that you love!
  • Books belong to everyone! No matter who you are or what you love to read, there’s a book out there for you!
