Feedback about Up for Reading

We have received some great feedback from schools, children and families about their experiences of taking part in Up for Reading:

“We had an amazing response...The children thoroughly enjoyed our reading week, and the staff were impressed with the simple format of the challenge.” Primary School Literacy Coordinator

“I am writing to let you know that the children have been very enthusiastic about taking part in the Up for Reading challenge and raising money...All the participating children made sure they reading in school and at home every day and between them they have raised a tremendous amount of money” Primary School PSHE Coordinator

“With responsibility for literacy across the curriculum, it’s been my pleasure to put the reading scheme into place...I hope the proceeds help the good work you are doing.” Primary School Literacy Coordinator

“Fabulous response from all the children and staff.” Primary School Teacher

“Our reading week was held between 3rd-7th March, and although not all of our students are able to read, everyone was very enthusiastic...We hope that this contribution helps towards the continuation of your valuable research and training.” Primary School Deputy Headteacher,

“The children really enjoyed the week and worked hard at collecting the sponsor money.” Primary School Teacher

“I run an after school Book Club for my class 7 and they have read several of Michael Morpurgo's books at that and they took charge of the organising of the Up for Reading week. They organised it really well for the entire school and were delighted to have raised so much considering our school roll is only around 145...a small village school.” Primary School Teacher

“I am very proud of the children for their efforts and for the way they showed that, in a way relative to their age and understanding, they read each day to help someone else.” Nursery School Manager

“Children at [our preschool] are enjoying books and stories, including Maisy mouse, and helping to raise money...Each time a child reads a book at home or pre-school we write the title on the middle of a flower. At the end of the week we will see how many books were read and which were the most popular.” Nursery School Teacher

“Our class have organized a sponsored read for the Up for Reading campaign. Each class has to read for a certain time each day for this week (10th to the 14th March) and the smaller children will be read to by their teacher...Many of us are reading Michael Morpurgo books since he is the main sponsor. One of our favourite books that we have read at Book Club has been War Horse. We have enjoyed organizing the event, making our own posters and involving the local press.” Year 7 Primary School Pupils
