meet our reading Ambassadors
Our reading ambassadors have an important role within the library and the school community. They work closely with Ms Young to ensure the smooth running of the library and book collections throughout the school. The library is open at both Breakfast Club and lunchtimes to allow the independent choice of reading for pleasure books. The reading ambassadors use their passion for reading to help make choices and to encourage reading enthusiasm.
Our reading ambassadors have been chosen for their love of reading and their enthusiasm to share their passion for reading with others. Our ambassadors support reading across school every week; they have a timetable of children to read with regularly. They share their love of reading a range of text types across a range of media (magazines, graphic novels, picture books and information books) with other children.
