Featherby Bookworms

We are pupils from Featherby Infant and Junior School and will be sharing with you the books we are reading, both in school and at home, and the books we love.

Reading at home shapes children’s long-term literacy and love of books 📚

Alison David (@HarperCollinsUK) shared that 60% of 8-11-year-olds read daily if they're read to daily, compared to 20% if read to less than weekly - affecting children's future opportunities.

"The best way to travel is by book, you can go anywhere you like" - Benjamin Zephaniah

We've lost one of poetry's greats today. Zephaniah's writing helped many make sense of themselves and the world around them. Here's a video from our #MyBirminghamStory project back in 2021 ⬇️.
