Reading for Pleasure at Selly Oak

Welcome to our Reading for Pleasure at Selly Oak dedicated page.

International research has shown that reading for pleasure is important for both academic progress and personal growth. Children who read for pleasure, use their imagination to explore new ideas, visit new places and meet new characters. Subsequently, this helps them to develop empathy, understanding and tolerance.

Below are links to great texts and interactive games that you and your child can enjoy at home. If you find anything exciting and want to share it with us for this page please let us know at enquiry@sellyoak.bham.sch.uk
