The Avenue Book Shop 2022-2023

As part of our commitment to developing reading in our school, we are pleased to announce that we have introduced 'The Avenue Book Shop'.  Each term (three times a year) every child in the school will be able to visit our pop-up bookshop that they can take home completely free! Not only does this give them the opportunity to browse and choose a book, giving them ownership and responsibility, it also means that they can begin or add to their own home library. This new initiative will mean that children starting in Reception will receive nine books over their time at The Avenue Infant School.

Reading is a vitally important skill and there are significant links between early reading and attainment in later education. This includes 'reading for pleasure' - simply choosing to read because it is an enjoyable activity.  

Please take the time to share your child's new book that they bring home, it really is invaluable for your child's progress. 

 

There are some useful information videos to help support you when reading with your child, but please do come to speak to us if you would like more support with this at home.
