The Wellread National Award
The Wellread National Award was inaugurated in 2015 to honour the fantastic promotion of reading for pleasure by schools across the country. The Wellread National Award aims to promote the development of a reading culture in school communities. The award requires the involvement of all stakeholders including students, teachers, parents and the wider community in reading and associated activities. The registration window for schools opens in the first term of each academic school year. For more info, see our X channel @Oide_PPLiteracy.
To support schools in their engagement with this award, the Oide Languages and Literacy team hosts a Wellread National Award Information Session in term one each academic year. This session will outlines ways in which schools might explicitly foster and nurture a reading culture in their schools, including exploring practical considerations concerning the reading environment and establishing reader networks. The most recent recorded webinar can be viewed below.
