To celebrate this and to encourage healthy reading habits we have a number of initiatives taking place in school this week.

• All pupils are being encouraged to bring their favourite book or books to school for silent reading time.
• “Stop everything and read bell” will ring at selected times during the week.
• Pupils will be encouraged to stop what they are doing and read for 10 minute slots.
• Paired reading activities, Primary 6 will join Primary 1 and Primary 7 will join Primary 2 for joint sessions.
• Drama related activities linked to reading books and stories.
