Reading Ambassadors at Stephenson have a very important role in school.

 

There are two key purposes for the Reading Ambassadors: 

• Support younger children in developing their reading skills; 

• Promote and share a love for reading. 

 

Each reading ambassador has a younger child to read with one lunch time a week. During this time they:

• Listen to the younger child read;

• Ask questions about the book so that they can help the younger understand;

• Model reading by reading a book to the younger child; 

• Add a comment to the younger child’s home school reading record to communicate the reading from the session with staff and parents;

• Talk positively and share their love for reading with the younger child. 

 

Reading Ambassadors also have time in the library one lunch time a week in order to organise books, make book recommendations and develop ideas on how to share a love for reading with the school further.
