Activities & Events
Discover here ideas to encourage both staff and pupils to read for pleasure, including challenges, reading role models, and ideas of activities linked to individual titles. Don’t forget to also look at the Book Awards and Author &
Storyteller sections.
Reading Role Models
SLS Reading Role Models is a summer holiday initiative for teachers, to encourage them to read a contemporary children’s title, and share it with their class at the beginning of September.
SLS Reading Challenge
Research shows that reading for pleasure increases literacy levels in students. To help build a reading culture across the whole school community, the SLS produces Reading Challenges for KS1 - KS3.

Wishing to encourage your parents to engage with reading at home? This information sheet will give you ideas on how to run an event in school to foster that shared reading habit.
