A TURN-up for the books – pupils at a Coventry primary school are turning over a new leaf thanks to a £1,600 boost towards its literacy campaign.
Allesley Hall School used the donation from Amazon in Coventry to buy books to help strengthen and encourage the literacy skills of its pupils.
The school, which recently upgraded its phonics scheme, bought a whole new set of ‘Little Wandle’ reading books for the children.
Headteacher Duncan Cottrill said: “Access to the right reading resources can be truly transformative for our pupils, and this contribution will help us put more books into the hands of children who need them most.
“We’re excited about the impact this campaign will have on literacy across our school.”
Saarah Hassan from Amazon in Coventry added: “We believe every child deserves access to books and resources that inspire a love of reading, and this donation is our way of investing in the next generation of readers right here in Coventry.”
