The Big ‘Read Manchester’ Summer Read 2021 is back again!
In the summer term, all 7,000 Year 6 pupils in Manchester will be gifted the book ‘The Kid Who Came From Space’ by Ross Welford in order to support their transition to secondary school. Following last year's successful pilot, we will grow and develop the programme.
Read Manchester, working with MCC Children’s and Education Directorate and Manchester Schools’ Alliance, launched the #BigRead2021 last week with a CPD event with over 100 teachers attending. Author Ross Welford joined us for a Q&A with Years 6 and Year 7 literacy leads as we shared our plans this year’s activities. Find out about last year’s successful programme here.
Last year's Big Read was generously supported by sponsors. If you are a business that would like to support local school children, please do get in touch - cheryl.pridgeon@manchester.gov.uk.
