Mystery Readers come to New Islington

Our pupils have been excited and enthused through our ‘Mystery Reader’ initiative.
Parents have signed up to come in and share their favourite book with the children. It’s kept a secret from the children until the moment that the parent walks in the class – you should see the children’s faces!
Kai’s mum, Gloria says:
“It was 20mins of pure joy! The kids were excited, engaged, and a captive audience! They really enjoyed the experience of having a parent come to read to them! (I know I wasn’t Quentin Blake -the illustrator- that they were expecting but they treated me like a star. I loved the session! As a parent it was wonderful to experience that joy and connection to reading with the Year 2’s. I recommend it to every parent”
