Building a Culture of Reading
Building our community of readers
Reading has remained at the heart of school life throughout the summer term.
Children taking part in the Big Book Club completed a six-session programme designed to build confidence and develop a stronger love of reading. We are very proud of every child who took part and grateful to the parents and family members who supported the sessions.
A special thank-you goes to Mrs Brady, our Reading Leader, who led the programme with her usual passion, knowledge and determination to help every child see themselves as a successful reader.
Our Year 6 and Year 1 Transition Reading Project has also brought children together. Year 6 pupils have shared books and encouraged some of our youngest readers, helping to create positive memories before they leave Bidston Avenue.
Families can continue this work during the holidays by joining the Summer Reading Challenge at any Wirral library. This year’s theme is based around music and making noise, and children are encouraged to borrow and read at least six books during the summer.
