Reading Ambassadors
Our Reading Ambassadors have been chosen for their love of reading and their enthusiasm to share this with others.
They share this across the school in a number of ways.
Library
Before a new book goes into the library, at least one of our ambassadors will read and review it. They can then help children by recommending the books to others that might enjoy it. This can be a tough job as they only have one week to read the book before it is placed on the shelves but they sometimes manage to complete them in a night!
Assemblies
The ambassadors organise whole-school assemblies; they celebrate children’s success in our Five Star Reading Scheme, pull winners out for the Reading competitions and communicate key messages about reading to the school.
Reading Cafes
The class with the most 5 star readers will be able to take part in a reading café at the end of each half term! The reading ambassadors help to run this and share stories with children.
Reading Buddies
Our ambassadors support reading across school every week; they will have a timetable of children or classes to read with regularly. They will share their love of reading anything (newspapers, magazines, comics, sports reports) with other children and help them to choose books from the library that they will enjoy.
Stock-picks
At least once a year, the ambassadors will help Mr Baxter to restock our library with newly released books as well as old classics that have been read so much that they need replacing. If anyone has any book requests for the library at any time in the year, please ask our ambassadors!
The Reading Environment
Children will be involved the design and creation of reading environments in school. They will help to generate ideas and also to help to create the environments where children can read, find fantastic reading books, or create a themed display linked to an author or class text.
