Back in 2019, Wombwell Park Street Primary School established a Junior Reader Leader Team. This was designed with the aim of providing pupil voice around reading and ensuring that we upskilled our children to become independent, confident readers who could offer support to others as they begin their reading journey. 
This week our Junior Reader Leader list has been finalised and throughout the year Miss Baxter will be working closely with the following children to drive reading forward in school:

Ella and Cruz
Grace and Noah
Eden and Lewis
Eva and Miles
Miyah and Joel
Abigail and Alaia
Ella and Sasha

Huge well done to our newly appointed JRL - I cannot wait to work with you all!

Firstly, I would like to wish you  all a warm welcome back to a new academic year and hope you have all had a restful holidays. As with the start of any new academic year comes fresh reading opportunities for our children to engage with. 
This year, we have further refined our reading offer to children through whole class text drivers which they will use to develop their reading stamina and skill and also to support their writing. 
In Autumn 1 our classes will study their class acclaimed author, reading books from their collection and inspiring their written work. Each class has their own acclaimed author so that over time children grow familiar with the work of different authors and styles and begin to express their own personal reader identity.  Below are the key authors being covered this half term:
​
Team AC: Julia Donaldson
Team JF: Oliver Jeffers
Team CH: Rachel Bright
Team CB: Roald Dahl
Team SG: David Walliams
Team JD: J K Rowling
Team DB: Michael Morpurgo
Team LL and AF: Anthony Horowitz
