Applications 2023-2024
As a reading champion, you will be helping to make sure that all of the children in school develop a love of reading that will stay with them throughout their lives.
Reading for pleasure is really good for our mental health.
Being able to read is a life skill. It means that we can:
be transported to other places,
begin to form opinions,
develop a sense of humour,
become acquainted with people and characters and their emotions,
develop empathy,
‘visit’ parts of the world (and other worlds!) we had no idea existed,
develop our imaginations, 
learn facts,
make links between our own and others’ lives.
Reading Champion Application Tasks:
Ask your teacher for a piece of paper.
Task 1:
Write a short statement that tells why you want to be a reading champion.
Task 2:
Share with Miss Reid one idea you have (or more if you want to!) for promoting a love of reading in school.
