Students at Wilson Stuart School are wholeheartedly embracing the joy of reading, thanks to their recent engagement with the Book Trust scheme, ‘Bookbuzz’.
This innovative initiative allows the school to pay a subscription, granting access to a vibrant selection of accessible, high-quality books.
Pupils are encouraged to conduct investigative work on these books, determining their interest before choosing one to enjoy at home and school. If they find a book to their liking, they have the delightful opportunity to keep it, thereby gaining access to hundreds of literary treasures throughout the year.
Central to this initiative is a generous donation from the Children’s Book Project, which has significantly enriched the students’ reading experience.
All children at Wilson Stuart School are now able to select a book to take home, fostering a lasting love of literature and ensuring every child has access to quality reading material.
A special visitor this year was Woody from Toy Story, adding excitement to the occasion.
Literacy lead Kristyl Bonner and EYFS learning lead Charlotte Davis expressed their gratitude, stating: “We would like to say a massive thank you to the Children’s Book Project in donating to Wilson Stuart and giving our students the opportunity to come along, pick up and take home a book of their choice. It shows the importance of reading and the power of books.”
