At De Montfort Academy, the Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) program has become a cherished part of the daily routine. Every day, all students and staff pause for 10 minutes of uninterrupted reading time, creating a shared space for reflection, imagination, and learning.
This focused initiative is designed to build strong reading habits, improve comprehension skills, and nurture a lifelong passion for literature and knowledge. By dedicating just a few minutes each day, the DEAR program supports academic growth while also promoting personal enrichment and mindfulness.
Whether diving into a novel, exploring non-fiction, or enjoying poetry, the DEAR program reinforces the message that reading is not just an academic skill—but a valuable, lifelong companion.
De Montfort Academy is proud to cultivate a community where reading is celebrated and where every learner is encouraged to grow through the power of words.
