Summertime reading is a great way to relax, and although the school library is closed over the summer break, there are plenty of other ways to access great reading material.
Our eBook reading App-Wheelers offers a great collection of books to downloaded for free. Students can access this resource by following the online learning link via the school website.
Visit your local library where you will find a large selection of fiction and nonfiction, manga and more. Many libraries run summer reading incentives, which might be of particular interest to younger students.
If buying books is your thing, then why not visit a National Trust property and explore one of the well-stocked second-hand book shops.
TOP TIPS FOR SUMMERTIME READING
- Create your very own reading corner, indoors or out- find that special quiet place to curl up with a book and relax.
- Recommend to your family and friends. Sharing your good reads is a great way to discover new books.
- Reading a magazine or newspaper increases your wordcount too.
- Don’t forget that if you binged on a boxset, it was probably an even better book first!
- Explore new genres and step beyond your reading comfort zone.
Whatever and wherever you read this summer, remember that reading is great for your mental health and wellbeing, expands your knowledge, empathy and understanding of the wider world and takes you to places beyond your imagination.
