Playing with Words

For the past two years, three local primary schools have been benefiting from the support of the National Literacy Trust, Colchester United Community Sports Trust (CUCST) and a Colchester United Reading Champion to encourage classes to read 100 books per term.

The project is launched annually with a visit to the school by a CUCST coach who sets the reading challenge for the class.

Children complete reading challenges in a personal journal while striving to meet the team target.

Rewards are given for success including stadium visits, coaching sessions or even a visit from the Colchester United Reading Champion.

This project is in its final year. For more information email educateutd@cucst.org.uk

I have MS and after my last attack I lost all of my confidence and there were some things I just couldn't do. The keep fit sessions with Angie have really helped. The Monday sessions are really good as they help you to keep active. The most important thing though is the company.
