Author Events
Looking to encourage reading for pleasure? There’s nothing like a “real live” author visit to boost children’s reading and help facilitate book ownership. Children who have had an author visit are more likely to enjoy reading and are twice as likely to read above the expected level for their age.
This year we had author Simon Phillip join us for World Book Day Week. Simon visited EYFS and KS1 children at Malvern, St. Aidan’s, Park Brow and St. Joseph the Worker Primary Schools. There was a “Meet the Author” session with Y1 and Y2 children, followed by a book reading/modelling session for Reception children and their parents. The children also had the opportunity to buy one of Simon’s books and have it signed on the day.
