Playing for Success at Huddersfield Town AFC
- The Reading for Success team - look at the books they’re reading - how can they not be successful??
There are several initiatives at the moment linking sport with encouraging children’s reading. Premiership League Reading Stars, Reading Champions and Playing for Success to name a few. Walker Books, my ace forward-thinking publishers, have linked my Girls FC series with the PfS team at Huddersfield Town AFC. Mike Mawson, the PfS organiser, used ‘Do Goalkeepers Wear Tiaras?’ as a basis for the project. His group of volunteers answered questions, did quizzes, looked at the different characters and so on. All good fun.
I’m afraid I don’t have any of the girls’ names who took part but I hope they enjoyed participating. Spread the word, lasses. Girls’ football books rock!
