Reading Cloud

 

Encouraging Your Child’s Reading for Pleasure:  Our new school OVERDRIVE digital book collection now available on our online READING CLOUD library management system.

Our school is strongly committed to improving literacy and knows the importance of reading for pleasure.  There is good evidence to suggest that young people who read for pleasure daily perform better academically.  We want to encourage children to enjoy reading and to read a wide range of good quality literature.

The Reading Cloud is our online library and reading resource that allows pupils, staff and parents to access our digital book collection and read eBooks and listen to audiobooks. Our school library catalogue can also be viewed and pupils are encouraged to use this resource to help with research, to write reviews about books they have read, blog about what they are reading and their favourite authors and search for new books.

Each child has a username and password which has been either given to them or sent home by their class teacher.

To access the Reading Cloud and to find out more about the library, please go to the News tab on the school website https://st-josephs.islington.sch.uk/.

We hope that you find this facility to support your child’s reading, both educational and enjoyable. If you have any questions please contact the school librarian, Mrs Rooney, at office@st-josephs.islington.sch.uk.
