Students from year 7 and 8 at James Calvert Spence College (JCSC) are buzzin’ for books as they take part in the Bookbuzz programme orgnaised by charity, BookTrust.
This curated programme gives students the chance to choose a book each from a collection of 16 titles, which is then bought by the school for the student to keep. This week students attended library sessions with their form tutor and Mrs Johnson, Librarian at JCSC, who introduced all the books available so that children could choose their favourite to order.
Mrs Johnson, Librarian at JCSC explains: “Bookbuzz is a brilliant way to get children excited about reading and helps build the narrative that reading for pleasure is fun! We have had great fun during the sessions and it is always interesting to see what book the children pick – the difference in favourites is vast.”
Mrs Johnson adds: “The book orders have now been sent off to the BookTrust and we look forward to receiving these in the next few weeks. If students like the look of more than one title, we will have a copy of each book in our library stock which they are welcome to borrow.”
