Patron of Reading
What is Patron of Reading?
A Patron of Reading is a school's special children's author, poet, storyteller or illustrator. The school and their patron develop a relationship over a period of time. Everything the patron does is related to helping encourage and develop a reading for pleasure culture in the school: blogs, book recommendations, discussions, plays, book quizzes, poetry bashes, parent sessions, book trailers and school visits. The possibilities are virtually endless. Created by head teachers Tim Redgrave, the headteacher at Ysgol Esgob Morgan in North Wales, and Jon Biddle, teacher at West Earlham Junior School in Norwich. The idea has now spread to over 200 schools across the British Isles (as well as to schools as far away as New Zealand and the USA!).
