Welcome to the Booksatbackwell Library Blog, where we offer the school community a less formal insight into our work and link you up to a wealth of documents, websites and reports to support reading, studies and research, whether in traditional print or digital.
Year 7 (many of whom are already amazing readers and knowledgeable about authors and series!) have a fortnightly Library lesson with Mr Brooks who sets regular reading homework. Students receive a brochure containing expectations and suggestions to help you support them with this.
Parents – encouraging reading for pleasure
All KS3 students have a regular, fortnightly Reading Lesson here in the Library where they can choose a book to read in the lesson and borrow it for two weeks to take home. During Y7 lessons we support students who struggle with reading for many different reasons: helping them choose a suitable book that will encourage them to read more, listening to them read talking about what they have read so far. The Shared Reading brochure we send home with them is available here:
