Two Year 2 pupils  have impressed teachers so much with their progress whilst learning to read they have been entered for a national award.

Taya and Summer have improved so quickly since they started a reading recovery programme they are now enjoying reading in lessons and for pleasure.

The national Reading Recovery Awards - organised by the International Literacy Centre at University College, London - have two categories for children.

Taya (6) has entered the reading competition for which she was recorded reading a story specially written by author Pie Corbett and Summer (7) has drawn a picture and written about how being able to read has changed her life.

Now both girls are regular readers and enjoying books, they are hoping the story of their amazing progress will have a happy ending when the winners are announced on 16^th May!
