Reading at St Petroc's updated July 2024.pdfSt Petroc's 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.
Part of the job of a Reading Ambassador is to encourage others in school to read more, and find their own love of reading. There is a large amount of research that demonstrates that children who read regularly at home perform much better at school and throughout their lives. Our ambassadors support and encourage our students to be enthusiastic readers.
All of our reading ambassadors are passionate about reading and read at home 3 or more times per week. They aim to be positive role models for other children at St Petroc’s to encourage them to love reading as much as they do!
At St Petroc's we promote a love of reading
We know that reading enjoyment is absolutely key for engaging children in the act of reading. We have timetabled slots every week where children have the opportunity to read from a wide range of stories, information books, magazines, comics - anything that they find interesting and enjoyable. We promote sociable reading during this time, allowing children to share what they are reading, recommend books to each other and discuss what they have read. A favourite time of the week for many!
At St Petroc's we promote a love of reading
We took children from throughout the school to the St Austell Festival of Children's Literature! What an amazing day full of bookish wonder and meeting awesome authors!
