Under the Scottish Attainment Challenge we in NLC  launched a ‘Read to Succeed’ initiative aimed at primary to high school transition. The main aim is to make reading for pleasure a priority. All the S1 pupils will be getting a visit by an author. The details of our visits are listed below:

Tuesday 11th September  – Award winning author, Alan Gibbons

Classes: 1F, 1G, 1H, 1J, 1K

Tuesday 18th September – Award winning author, Philip Caveney/Danny Weston

Classes: 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E

The pupils enjoyed the author talks and asked some excellent questions.

The launch of the ‘Read to Succeed’ Authors Tour was held in Coatbridge High School on 5th September with the keynote speaker being award winning author Theresa Breslin. All the pupils who attended received a signed copy of one of her books.

The closing event was held in Cardinal Newman High School on Thursday 20th September with the speaker being award winning author Bali Rai. All the pupils who attended received a signed copy of one of his books.
