Summer Reading @ Portland Place School

Avoid a slump in literacy over the summer by encouraging your son or daughter to read over the holidays.  

We have a rewards scheme in place for students at the moment.  Here is how you take part:

1) Read a book over the holidays

2) Tell Ms O'Shea when you come back to school

3) She will check you have read the book and you can earn 5 merits!

4) To earn further merits design a new book cover for the book you read to convince others to read it.  This will be displayed in our new library space.

Here are some ideas for reading over the summer:
