Each class across school has Reading Ambassadors. Being a Reading Ambassador is all about reading for pleasure and sharing the deep enjoyment of reading a great book. Our Reading Ambassadors have been chosen for their love of reading and their enthusiasm to share this with others. Their roles include:
- Encouraging other children in their class to read more and to find their own love of reading
- Knowing the selection of books and authors in their class library and recommending books to peers in their classes – talking enthusiastically and confidently about them
- Promoting a range of reading material within their classroom such as newspaper, magasines, fiction, non-fiction and poetry books to encourage even the most reluctant readers
- Organising their class library in a way to engage and entice others into it
- Identifying books linked to the ‘class reader’ book or learning topics to promote amongst others
