Meet our Reading Plus Champion Charlotte
Meet Charlotte
We’re delighted to introduce one of our Reading Plus Champions, Year 6 pupil Charlotte from Ribbon Academy.
Charlotte’s teacher, Kim Flower, nominated her for the role and shared with us:
“Charlotte’s commitment to reading is beautiful to see – particularly since she reads more for pleasure too. She is an absolute role model to Ribbon Academy. We are so proud of her!”
The role Champions
At Daisy Education, we are devoted to accelerating reading progress while instilling a love for reading in our students. One way in which we do this is by appointing Reading Plus Champions who have the opportunity to complete additional exciting tasks, including:
- Reviewing new (and unseen!) texts to be added to Reading Plus.
- Sharing their experience of Reading Plus in a blog titled ‘My Reading Plus Journey’.
- Collaborating with us on interviews with children’s authors.
We’re delighted to publish Charlotte’s first blog as part of the role. Here she shares all about her passion for reading.

Can you tell us about your favourite author/book?
My favourite book is Lionesses and my favourite author is David Walliams.
Out of all the books you have ever read, do you have a favourite character?
Yes, Ella Toone because she is amazing at football and you can learn more about her!
What is your favourite hobby?
Football.
If you had a superpower, what would it be and why?
Quickness – so I could be there to help everyone more quickly.
What do you want to be when you are older?
A Lioness.
Imagine you just won a million pounds, what would you do with it?
If I won the lottery, I would split the money with my family.

My three wishes would be:
- To become a Lioness.
- For everyone to be kind.
- To be very successful in life.
Encouraging reading for pleasure
Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success – more than their family circumstances, their parents’ educational background, or their income.
Daisy Education is dedicated to not only improving students’ reading skills but also developing a reading for pleasure culture in schools with Reading Plus, with a range of extra initiatives, including:
