French Reading Competition

At Magrida the active encouragement of reading for pleasure is a core part of every pupil’s educational entitlement, whatever their background or attainment. We take the view that extensive reading and exposure to a wide range of texts makes a vital contribution to every child’s educational achievement thus reading for pleasure at Magrida aims to establish each child as a lifetime reader. Reading research emphasizes the importance of reading for pleasure for both educational as well as personal development. This policy, although linked to the Literacy Policy, stands alone in its promotion and encouragement of reading as a pleasurable activity and thus establishes the basis of the philosophy for a wide range of reading within the Center.
