DEAR time in music for 1.1! 📖 📚 “An excellent way to start the day!” so says Mrs Smith! Reading regularly can greatly improve a young person’s attainment and we’re using lots of different methods to make it happen more often, including DEAR time! @StMungosAcademy

[Literacy@SMA @LiteracySMA]

An excellent example of DEAR in action!
