Quick Reads

Remember, not all of your 'reads' for Reading Ahead have to be a book!

You can read and review news articles, poems, journals and magazines and even graphic novels.

The important thing is that you find something enjoyable to read and can write down your thoughts and opinions about what you have read.

Why not kick start your Reading Ahead journey with one of our suggestions listed below and then hit the 'Instant Review' button. You will receive a copy of your entry directly to your student email account. It's perfectly fine to use this method instead of, or as well as your hand written diaries.
