Read for my school
The school has successfully run the Read for my School competition for the past few years in Year 6. This year we are opening up the competition to all of KS2. All you need to do is read as many books as you can and record them on the website (what a great way to spend half term!). You can read actual paper books (from home, school, the library, shops e.t.c.) and there are over 150 online books available on the website.
Go to: www.readformyschool.co.uk
Username: Your first and last name
Password: Your AR/STAR username (you can find this in your yellow reading record. It needs to be in capitals)
Class code 847912
The competition runs till the end of next term. Teachers will be nominating pupils who have read the most books and who have written the best book review. Good luck!

Reading Recovery Read Aloud
This is a very special week for Reading Recovery teachers like myself. The Reading Recovery team at the International Literacy Centre share the mission of Save the Children's 'Read on Get on' campaign to ensure that by 2025 every child is a confident reader by age 11. All over the country children who are having/have had Reading Recovery are reading to someone special.
At Cabot, some Year 1 children have read one of their favourite stories to a local police officer and some Year 5 children read to Paul Jacobs, Service Director, Education and Skills, Bristol City Council. All the visitors were very impressed with the children's reading. The Year 5's in particular read with such expression that Mr Jacobs wants to read the books himself so he can find out how the stories end!
Of course the most important person a child can read with is someone from their own family. Please make a special effort this week to sit back, relax and listen to your child read - you'll be in for a treat!
