Read for my school!

Read for my school is a new idea that Mrs Corbett has introduced to our class a few weeks ago. The idea has already started to be a great success; all of year 7 can read online, the accounts are free and there are rewards for the most books read. The more the better! 150 books can be accessed until March. The minimum books you should read is 8, and there is no maximum!!

158 BOOKS READ IN OUR GROUP SO FAR

11,404 BOOKS READ IN OUR REGION SO FAR

THESE TOTALS CHANGE ALL THE TIME

Read for My School is a national schools reading competition that promotes reading and philanthropy by challenging pupils to read as many books as possible across two months of the spring term. Throughout the competition there are prizes and awards to be won for schools and pupils taking part.

Read for My School will run from 19th January to 20th March 2015 and is open to all children in primary school from Years 3 to 6 and secondary school Year 7 to 8 throughout the UK.

Prizes!

There will be major new awards for schools that can demonstrate how they are using Read for My School in the context of wider efforts to create an excellent whole-school reading culture. These awards will accompany prizes worth at least £1,000 for each winning school.
