Reading at Home During Lockdown

To ensure you continue to progress during lockdown, it is really important that you have regular access to reading materials and that you are using them to read at home. It is essential that you read for thirty minutes per day and use your communication – via email – with your English teacher, to discuss your choice of book, understanding of plot and to discuss your progress with reading.

Follow the instructions to create your account (using your school email address) and then action to instructions emailed to you by your English teacher.

• It is essential that you are reading for thirty minutes per day.
• Register for e-books at Oldham Library by following the links and steps below. When you have registered, login and select your book. If you do not have regular access to a laptop, you can download the e-library app to your phone or tablet and access the books from there.
