Each book you read counts towards the award of a READING CERTIFICATE.

There are THREE certificates:

BRONZE AWARD (5 BOOKS)SILVER AWARD (10 BOOKS)GOLD AWARD (10 BOOKS)

Certificates will be awarded on an individual basis when you have completed the tasks set for each level.

It is important that you keep an accurate record of your progress on the back of this booklet. When you are ready to move on to the Silver Award you will be given a new booklet to complete.

Your teacher will want to see your Reading Record regularly to check on your progress so keep it up to date.

Write in blue or black ink (or pencil, if you prefer) and keep your Reading Record neat and graffiti-free.
