# Reading Champions

**Reading Champions**

At High Green Primary School, we are passionate about reading. From our high-quality **Little Wandle phonics** in F2 and KS1 to our exciting **Book Vending Machine**, reading sits at the heart of school life. Our **Reading Champions** help celebrate and strengthen this culture, inspiring every child to love books and read for pleasure.

**Who Are Our Reading Champions?**

Reading Champions are enthusiastic and confident readers from Key Stage 2 who enjoy sharing their love of books with others. They act as reading role models and help ensure that every child at HGPS has access to engaging, diverse and high-quality texts.

**What Do They Do?**

Reading Champions support our whole-school reading culture through a range of important responsibilities:

- **Reading With Younger Children:**
     They read regularly with pupils across school to build fluency, support confidence and model expressive reading.
- **Promoting Our Little Wandle Phonics Approach:**
     Champions help celebrate the progress children make through Little Wandle and encourage younger pupils to practise their reading at home and in school.
- **Recommending Books:**
     They share book suggestions in classes, assemblies and the library, helping children choose stories linked to their interests, topics and reading level.
- **Supporting Our Book Vending Machine:**
     Reading Champions help promote the vending machine, celebrate children who earn tokens and recommend new titles to be included.
- **Looking After the School Library:**
     They help keep the main library tidy and welcoming—organising shelves, supporting book returns and creating displays that highlight new or diverse books.
- **Ensuring Diversity & Representation:**
     Champions help check that our library and classroom reading areas include a wide range of books that reflect different cultures, families, experiences and voices.
- **Linking Books to Class Topics:**
     They support teachers in keeping reading areas current and topic-linked, ensuring children have high-quality texts related to what they are learning.
- **Leading Reading Events:**
     Reading Champions help with reading challenges, World Book Day, story sessions and other events that make reading fun.
- **Sharing Pupil Voice:**
     Champions meet with staff to share ideas, request new books and help ensure our reading spaces stay fresh and exciting.

**Why This Matters**

Our Reading Champions play a vital role in nurturing confident, enthusiastic readers. Their leadership helps ensure that reading at HGPS is joyful, inclusive and inspiring—from Little Wandle phonics to the thrill of choosing a new book from the vending machine.
