Our Reading Challenge 2024, has commenced this week in the Barr Beacon iCentre. 15 Year 12 pupils, acting as reading mentors to 15 Year 7 pupils, have enjoyed reading ‘Journey Back to Freedom’ by Catherine Johnson. Working together to build reading confidence and a love for reading, our Year 12s have taken a lead in engaging our Year 7s in their reading. In this picture, Reading Challenge mentor Z. Barkat is showing her mentee images of where the book is set to help him to picture the scene and immerse himself in his reading!
