We will be embarking on our Read to Succeed programme shortly to encourage all S1 students to engage in reading for enjoyment. Research tells that reading is good at supporting attainment and also to enhance our well-being. All S1 classes are working on the reading Olympics where they can work through the Bronze, Silver and Gold reading awards. As part of this we encourage all S1 students to bring a book on their Literacy day. They should also pick four days in the week where they read for at least 15 minutes and the pages they have read are recorded in their planner to allow for discussion with their Literacy teacher.
As part of the Read to Succeed initiative North Lanarkshire Council fund a free book for each S1 student. Below you will find a link to the books which are available for selection which will allow you to discuss choices with your young person before they have to choose.

I would also be very grateful if you could complete this short survey on reading for the Read to Succeed team.
