    The Reading Leader Scheme is organised by Reading Matters, in conjunction with Corby Reads. It is a registered charity which trains and supports volunteers to work with young people, helping them to become confident and enthusiastic readers.

    Year 12 students are trained for six hours; upon completion they then give up half an hour of their time once a week to help a Year 7 student engage in reading activities. The mentor prepares materials from a wide range of resources, to match the ability needs and interest of the reader.

  • Year 7 boys' premier league reading challenge

    Published 22/11/16

    This week saw the launch of the Year 7 boys' premier league reading challenge. Introduced by Librarian Wendy McCabe, the students split themselves into teams of five, with each team representing a football team in the premier league.

     

    Every student needs to read as many books as possible before the end of season. Each book equates to a goal and the more goals scored the higher up the league table the team goes. A review sheet about the book has to be completed before a goal is awarded, with stickers given for the goal and put on display on the league table in the library.
