Hear Jenny's thoughts

Precious Moments Ambassador | Jenny Holder | Reading Coordinator and Communications Manager
​
Jenny’s role focuses on supporting Liverpool schools to embed and develop Reading for Pleasure within their offer. As part of this work she supported over 100 schools to set up reading groups for vulnerable pupils (including those who were Looked After and on Child in Need and Child Protection plans). She won the 2021 Community Reading Champion prize at the Farshore Reading For Pleasure Teachers Awards for her work in encouraging reading during the pandemic. She worked as a primary school teacher for 13 years including time as English/Reading Lead and uses this experience in her work supporting schools with their reading offer and library areas.

Jenny is an avid and eclectic reader with a particular interest in children’s and YA literature. She has postgraduate diplomas in both Children’s Literature and Strategic Literacy Leadership. Jenny is experienced in organising large scale reading projects. She worked closely with the national charity Read for Good to develop the first citywide sponsored read, the Liverpool Readathon. In 2019, Jenny established the Liverpool Children’s Festival of Reading, a set of face-to-face author events and later adapted these for online delivery during the January 2021 lockdown. 

She strongly believes that reading is for everyone. She has worked with Merseyside Violence Reduction Partnership to develop Read To Bump, a programme of training for professionals working with new/expectant parents to help them support families with reading together from as early as possible.

As a former primary school teacher, Jenny enjoys supporting other subjects in the curriculum. She supports and assesses schools as part of the Liverpool Counts Quality Mark and leads on the annual Liverpool Maths Party event. Jenny also leads on our digital communications, managing our social media channels and website.
