Get Islington Reading - READING ADVENTURE GAME

 


Dear Parents/Carers of Year 6,

Get Islington Reading: The Reading Adventure Game

Our school is working with The National Literacy Trust, The Reading Agency and Islington Borough Council as part of the Get Islington Reading project to help our children be happy, confident readers. Please see attached leaflet.

In October our school was chosen to launch The Reading Agency’s exciting new online reading game for children called ‘The Reading Adventure’. The aim of the game is to get children reading more and trying different types of reading activities.

The Reading Agency has sent us leaflets with details of how to access this game. A copy is attached. We will also be sending them home with your child. To join in with the game you may need to help your child set up an account using the 6-digit school code found on the leaflet.

Islington libraries will be hosting a range of free workshops and you and your child will be notified about these through the online game.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any queries relating to this project.

Yours faithfully,

 

Mrs Rooney

School Librarian
