At Caldershaw we know how important reading is: not only to enable us to find out about the world and research specific topics, but (most importantly) in giving life long pleasure.
Please read a book every night and record it in your reading record (remember: all books count). A few pages will do, but make sure you understand what you've read!
Remember, reading 5 times per week means you'll be entered into our weekly Milkshake draw!
