The Reading Ambassadors programme is a school based literacy initiative that promotes a positive
attitude towards reading through organised events involving local personalities
that have been appointed by the Ministry for Education. During these events,
the chosen reading ambassadors read to different classes, in either Maltese or
English, and then discuss the book with the students. A forum involving the
whole school is held in the school hall, where a number of students ask the
Reading Ambassadors a number of questions related to reading and their
experiences. The diverse group of Reading Ambassadors includes singers, actors,
footballers, presenters, broadcasters and journalists. The activity comes to an
end with one of the Ambassadors singing one of their songs. For further information
