ASFA students chosen to become Reading Revolutionaries
A group of Year 10 students from The Academy of St Francis of Assisi (ASFA) have been selected as ‘Reading Revolutionaries’ as part of a bespoke initiative with The Reader.
The students have been expertly trained by The Reader so that they can share their enthusiasm for reading on a one-to-one basis with younger students in the academy.
The Reader is a charity which wants to bring about a Reading Revolution, so that everyone can experience and enjoy great literature.
Taking place in the school’s library, students will choose stories and poems to read and share together, in an open and relaxed way to encourage discussion and to bring the words alive for their reading buddy.
The revolutionaries will meet with their buddies weekly, giving them the opportunity to develop their reading and communication skills, as well as their confidence.
