Two new groups have been launched at CTS to help students to get the most out of their reading.
The first is the Book Club which is open to all students in Years 7 and 8 and meets after school.
The second is a reading group to which Year 7 students are invited if they lack confidence in their reading.
CTS director of English Markus Wilson said: "The Book Club is open to everyone. All the members have received a copy of Wonder by R J Palacio and they read together after school and by themselves at home too.
"Through reading as a group we can explore different ideas and interpretations of characters and events. It also develops the students' interaction skills.
"Our separate reading group is invitation only and is for students in Year 7 who lack confidence in their reading.
"We read together in short bursts of 25 minutes in a closed environment and then we discuss the book.
"We're currently reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and its language is quite complex."
Year 8 students Natalie and Aidan (pictured) are members of the Book Club.
Natalie said: "I like reading - particularly psychological thrillers.
"I'm a confident reader but I've become more fluent in my reading since I started going to the club."
Aidan added: "I think Wonder is amazing.
"I'm really pleased that the book club has started up."
