Reading Engagement Assembly

Assembly I led to promote whole school reading engagement. Watched by Chair of Governors and thankfully activities managed to gain lots of hands up and enthusiasm from all pupils (Year 1-6). I used some Year 6 pupils at front to read character descriptions before other children guessed them. After my speech on slide 12 other Year 6s read poems (not included as I was unsure about copyright) ;however, they are all online and called: Good Books by Edgar Guest; I met a dragon face to face by Jack Prelustsky and There is a land by Leland B Jacobs. The slide with bar chart was an eye opener for those more reluctant readers and included a bit of Maths in an assembly that was otherwise a true celebration of English and books. Hope it works as well for you as it did me. By the way, I am sure you will want to change the first slide to you and your family reading together.
