Reading at Wellesbourne 📚💚

At Wellesbourne, reading is the compass guiding every student's journey - where pages unfold worlds, and literacy lights the path to lifelong learning ✨

[Reading at Wellesbourne 📚💚 @WellesBooks]

Every class dedicates 15 minutes a day to reading for pleasure from a carefully-crafted reading spine. This allows children to explore new worlds, builds imagination and develop a lifelong long for books!

Each week, a different class will share their class read.
