Reading for Pleasure
Reading for Pleasure Whole School Programme 2021/2022
Throughout the year we hold reading focused events, both national and school-based, to promote a culture of reading for pleasure at Treleigh.
Here are this years events:
At Treleigh the ability to ‘read for pleasure’ is rewarded through our much desired TRELEIGH WORD COUNT KARATE WRISTBANDS. Once accessing Accelerated Reader, pupils can work their way through our reading wristbands and make the wall of fame in the school hall.

Reading to each other
Wheal Bunnie have spent the last few days reading to each other and even brought in their recommended books to share. The children were super enthusiastic. Amazingly, we now find ourselves with lots of exciting books to read next.
'WOW' 3 Million Word!!
We could not be more proud of Melissa for achieving her silver reading band today! She has read a staggering 3 MILLION words since September!! Just incredible!
World Book Day
What a fantastic day we have had celebrating World Book Day! Our theme was ‘Bedtime Stories’ and the value of reading aloud and listening to our favourite tales. The children thoroughly enjoyed ‘buddying up’ and sharing their books with different children across the school, all cozy in their pyjamas. Don’t forget to check the Facebook page at 6.45pm to listen to our mystery reader. We have already received some of the children’s stories ready to add to the mystery each Friday at the same time. Remember listening to the mystery reader counts as one of your daily reads. Simply sign the reading record ‘mystery reader.’ Thank you for your continued support.
