Reading Ambassadors
Balliol's Reading Ambassadors
Our Reading Ambassadors have a very important role in school.
There are two key purposes for the Reading Ambassadors:
Support younger children in developing their reading skills;
Promote and share a love for reading.
Each Reading Ambassador has a younger child to read with one lunch time a week. During this time they:
Listen to the younger child read;
Ask questions about the book so that they can help the younger understand;
Model reading by reading a book to the younger child;
Add a comment to the younger child’s home school reading record to communicate the reading from the session with staff and parents;
Talk positively and share their love for reading with the younger child.
Reading Ambassadors also have time in the library one lunch time a week in order to organise books, make book recommendations and develop ideas on how to share a love for reading with the school further.
