Happy Facts at school
Sparking a love of reading through non fiction can help children develop the literacy skills they need to succeed. Discovering a new fact or news story which relates to their hobbies and interests can encourage further reading, and a desire to share their new-found knowledge.
Salford’s Happy Facts has been designed to work with schools and in the community to help discover the topics, people, places and facts which are important to the children of Salford.
The National Literacy Trust has developed some fun and interactive resources for its Salford’s Happy Facts campaign, designed to motivate and equip teachers with information and activities to inspire their pupils to read around subjects they’re interested in. We would love for your class to then discover and share their own happy facts, to possibly be included in our Salford’s Happy Facts book!
