The Book Buzz

We love reading!

Here are just five reasons why:

Reading is food for the brain.
Reading makes you more confident.
Books are the world's cheapest travel agents.
Reading reduces stress
Reading improves your focus, memory and makes your more likely to achieve success.

We would love you to read as much as you can and enjoy it just as much as we do.

At Shoeburyness High School we have The Book Buzz which encourages you to spend time reading.

There are some amazing books to read and here are a few of our recommendations that you could maybe look at over the Summer.

SPaG - BBC Bitesize

Recapping on what you have done at primary school is a great way to get prepared for when you join us. Do not worry about what you will be doing at this point, just take some time to remember all the things you do know.
