Reading For Pleasure

At Mossley, we highly value the importance of reading for pleasure. Every Thursday, all year groups take part in a reading for pleasure session in school.

These take various forms, such as:

• Hot chocolate and biscuit whilst reading
• Making reading dens
• Reading buddies (joining with another year group)
• Reading in the woods
• Book blankets
• Reading rivers
• Listening to audio books
• Bring in a teddy/blanket
• Free choice of what to read
• Creating art work based on reading
• Reading café with recommendations of books from peers or staff
• Parent visits for reading
