Primary PGCE trainee Claire has set up a KS1 reading club at her placement school. Each week the children focus on a different book and become reading detectives. The children are thoroughly enjoying their new lunchtime club! 📖

KS1 have a brand new ‘Little Bookworms’ reading club. The children enjoyed their first session becoming reading detectives to make predictions about what might happen. They then enjoyed reading the story and joining in with different parts. #readingclub #readingculture 🕵🏽 📖 🌟
