"Reading enjoyment has been reported as more important for children’s educational success than their family’s socio-economic status." (OECD, 2002).

The IRA is working towards Reading Schools Accreditation. We would love to have positive conversations around how we can encourage our students to read more. As part of our Reading Schools journey, we are asking students to use our school library to take out a book to read over the summer holidays. Our students have created a list of their top 10 books which is a great place to start if you're uncertain about what to recommend.

Ask your child if they've managed to take out a book!  Thank you!
