Reading Schools - Start and Spark: Flexibility

Our Start and Spark sessions have been created for both those at the start of their Reading Schools journey who are interested in finding out more and those who’ve begun their journey who are looking for top tips and ideas to spark their imagination.

At this interactive session, we will introduce a hot topic to spark discussion. In this session, we will be exploring how Reading Schools can best support those who need a flexible approach including, but not limited to: ASN settings; rural and island schools; and GME settings.

You will get the chance to chat with our team as well as colleagues at various stages of their Reading Schools journey. Please bring your questions, ideas, challenges and solutions. Everyone is welcome and we extend a special invitation to those who have needed, or will need, a more flexible approach when working towards Reading School accreditation.

A further Start and Spark Session is available on Wednesday 4 March which you can register to attend here.

This session will be held on Microsoft Teams with joining details sent in advance. For the best experience, we recommend joining the webinar using the Microsoft Teams app rather than using the browser.

Reading Schools is a national accreditation programme for schools which are committed to building a reading culture with and for their learners and communities. Research indicates that reading for pleasure positively impacts on learners' attainment across the curriculum, supports wellbeing, critical thinking, creativity, empathy and resilience.

NB: We have two self-directed e-learning modules containing curated elements to help give programme participants the relevant knowledge to commence and achieve their Reading Schools accreditation. These can be found here.
