George Green's LOve to REad
Reading is possibly the single most important activity your child can do to support their cognitive development, well-being, and academic success. This is why we have created our own website dedicated to reading and writing for pleasure. George Green’s Loves to Read site is designed to help your child to :
- Discover new writers and books. There are 100+ book reviews written by students and staff, recommended reading lists and videos.
- Discover fantastic reading and creative writing resources, and news.
- Share their own reading experiences by writing a book review.
- Take part in our annual reading challenge.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Reading Community. #georgegreenslovestoread
Our Reading Blog - Visit us to discover the world of words
Reading for just 20-30 minutes everyday helps to improve your knowledge and understanding of the world around you, your confidence, and your reading and writing skills. It also helps to you to relax and exercise your imagination; reading can show you a different world – a place you’ve never been before!
The George Green’s Reading Challenge 2023
Our annual George Green’s Reading Challenge for 2023 is to read one folktale, myth or legend every month until March 2024. That’s twelve short stories to discover and share with peers, family and friends. Discover more here.
