Reading moments worth marking
A reading award means most when it celebrates effort and joy, not just speed:
- For finishing a first proper chapter book.
- For reading every night this term.
- For reading aloud to the class with real confidence.
- For sticking with a tricky book and getting there.
Celebrating the love of reading, gently, is one of the kindest nudges towards a child who reads for pleasure.
