Reem is champion reader
The Year 6 Winton Primary School pupil has become Reading Plus Champion for her exceptional reading progress.
Reem Mourched is only in Year 6 at Winton Primary School, but she is already an avid reader.
Reading Solutions UK, the online reading development programme has awarded Reem Reading Plus Champion for her exceptional reading progress and attitude.
Teachers nationwide nominated hundreds of pupils for the role, and Reem was one of only 11 pupils chosen. Megan Buston, assistant headteacher, and Melissa Stone, Reem’s class teacher, nominated Reem.
Megan said: “Reem is a conscientious and dedicated learner in all subjects, and prides herself on her ability to support others. She is committed to learning new things and tries to be the best she can be in everything. She is a role model for other pupils in her learning.”
As a Reading Plus Champion, Reem will complete reading tasks such as interviewing a children’s author and writing blogs and book reviews for Reading Solutions UK’s website.
Megan said: “Even though English is not her first and only language, she has worked hard to read and write fluently, as well as improving her comprehension skills. Reading Plus has supported her in developing these skills.”
Reem received a Reading Plus Champion kit with prizes, including a book voucher, certificate, and badge to celebrate her achievement. The kit also includes various stationery materials to help her complete her tasks and a new, age-appropriate book.
Megan said: “The opportunity to review texts, interview authors, and write blogs will encourage her to continue to strengthen her skills further. The chance to work on her reading skills while developing her own voice as an author and reviewer would be incredible.”
Lee Carrick, reading development consultant at Reading Solutions UK, said: “It is fantastic to see the positive impact Reading Plus has had on the reading culture at Winton Primary School.”
