Mrs Gidden's cool reader's club - Alex

Here's what our Cool Readers Club is all about...

These are our reading stars put forward by their English teacher.  We interview them about their current book, what they like reading about and what they like to do when they’re not reading.  Introducing Alex..

Alex can't put down the Harry Potter series - so much so he is reading it for the third time!

"I just find them amazing! I start at the beginning every time and read them all the way through," said Alex.

"I have watched the films as well. I do prefer the films as there is more action in them.

"As well as JK Rowling, I like David Walliams and also Adam Kay's comedy books called 'Kay's Anatomy.'"

Alex says his favourite subjects in school are PE and Accelerated Reading - no wonder he is a Cool Reader!

"When I am not reading, I play as a striker for Lostock Hall JFC and I also play football in school.

"My aim is to be a marine."

Alex's English teacher, Miss Nicholls added, "Alex never fails to impress me with his dedication to reading, so much so that I sometimes struggle to get him to do anything but read! Alex always comes to lesson with a positive attitude to reading and is never shy to share things and ask questions about his current read. Once he gets stuck into a book, he's hooked! I'd love to see what Alex's library looks like at home, I bet I'd get lost in it!"
