How we use the Reading Cloud at Thorp.
Click on the picture to read the article on the MLS website.....
We were asked by MLS to trial the Reading Cloud and give them our feedback......
We firstly asked our book group students and our LRC Apprentices to try it out and tell us what they thought......
Our feedback was posted online and an article submitted to the School Librarian Journal. Thanks to MLS we now have our Reading Cloud permanently for our students to use.

It helps you in lessons which helps you get a good job.
