At Oasis Academy Benson, reading is a priority as it is essential for developing critical thinking, communication skills and a lifelong love of learning. As a reward for the children making great progress in reading, and consistently changing their reading books, one child from each class, each term will be selected as a 'Reading Champion.'
The prize for the autumn term was a trip to Waterstones! The Reading Champions attended a workshop and chose books for the library. Afterwards, they went to Costa to have a hot drink with Ms Medley! The Reading Champions also won a book to take home.
The trip was a reward for the children’s dedication and a way to motivate them to keep growing as readers, showing them that their efforts lead to exciting new opportunities and experiences. We wonder who the Reading Champion will be for the Spring term!
