Seven great ideas
Description
Werneth School, Stockport, demonstrate a range of initiatives designed to engage pupils with their reading.All pupils and staff Drop Everything And Read for 20 minutes to show that reading for pleasure is valued throughout the school. Librarian Nikki Heath works with a team of pupil librarians as another scheme to promote reading throughout the school. In Year 7 English lessons are relocated to the library once a week and pupils are allowed to spend the time reading for pleasure - be it book, magazine or comic.As part of the annual literacy challenge pupils of different year groups work together on reading tasks linked to the Tour de France. This helps to engage reluctant boys as wider forms of reading target pupils of all abilities. And teachers and support staff are brought together with pupils to act as positive role models, to recommend books and share reading experiences.
