Every Friday, instead of our usual reading skills session, we enjoy our very own ‘Book Club’.
During this time, we enjoy spending time reading our books, reading to an adult, or taking part in some cool activities that help us to celebrate our love of reading.
Recently, we’ve updated our book corner.
It may look a little less busy, but the books, magazines and newspapers are perfect for ‘dipping into’ for a few minutes. Most of them are non-fiction. Ask your child what they think to the book they read today – did they learn anything new? Is there anything else they’d like to find out? Do they prefer fiction or non-fiction books?
Today, we focussed on finding out some facts about Ancient Greece (using one of the book sin our book corner). We talked about how non-fiction books are organised differently and why. We discussed the good points about non-fiction books and we learnt some new knowledge.
Please remember that your child should have their guided reading book and their reading journal in school every Friday. In addition, if you child finishes their book, they can bring it in any day of the week and we will aim to get it changed that day.
We can’t encourage you enough to read regularly at home – it really does make a huge difference.
