Your Story Corner Programme: Barking & Dagenham

The incredible books that were provided have provided a wealth of opportunities for children to explore new, high-quality, diverse, and stimulating texts. The resources have demonstrated an increase in children's enjoyment for reading and as a result, more children are now choosing to access the reading corners. They are so enthusiastic about the new texts and have enjoyed reading them for pleasure. Children have enjoyed these texts and they have been read during 'Read Aloud' time. The variety of texts provided supported all children and they were adapted for all Key Stages, with a range of fiction and non-fiction texts.

This year, our main goal was to foster a love for reading. We distributed books throughout the classroom, and the children were thrilled to receive them. They couldn't wait to dive into their new books! The selection was diverse, catering to all types of readers, particularly those who may be hesitant to pick up a book.
