Congratulations to you for your Power of Reading project. I cannot remember a time when a team of teachers have returned to school so enthused, inspired and optimistic.
All pupils must be encouraged to read widely across both fiction and non-fiction to develop their knowledge of themselves and the world in which they live, to establish an appreciation and love of reading, and to gain knowledge across the curriculum. Reading also feeds pupils’ imagination and opens up a treasure-house of wonder and joy for curious young minds.
