Scarning Reading

Welcome to our reading website, put together with a view to helping parents, family and friends to support their young loved ones develop a lifelong love for reading.

Reading is one of, if not the most important aspect of a young person's learning. With a regular diet of reading comes improved use of language and speech, greater creativity in writing, and bizarrely even improved logic, reasoning and maths skills!

Reading is a vital part of a young person's learning and should be something they enjoy. We are aware however that today's children are growing up in an time of on-demand T.V, tablets and mobile phones, and seemingly addictive computer gaming, and that pupils can therefore be distracted from reading. Hopefully, this site designed to support you as parents and carers will help you develop a culture of reading at home as part of their daily diet of activities and hobbies and we hope that this website helps children find books just for them.

Ultimately, the research has suggested time and time again that pupils who read regularly at home have improved educational outcomes. More so than this, it's a quiet, patient pleasure we want our young people to enjoy and appreciate in a fast-paced world of online, on-demand entertainment!
