Reading

media type="custom" key="640409" Reading daily is an important part of our programme. We read for enjoyment, researching for information, to share knowledge, to confirm or oppose ideas, to develop expression in our reading to others, and for understanding and comprehension.

Here a just a few ways your child can get reading mileage: Challenge them to a reading competition - see if they can read at least 1 book from the different genres in a week eg: newspaper (article, advertisements), fiction book, non-fiction book, comic, internet article about a favourite animal, a picture book, a childrens magazine, an autobiography (a famous: NZer, sports star, motor racing driver, writer, artist, actor etc), read a story to a friend, brother or sister, a story written by a class mate. The list could be endless. Use your imagination there are outstanding Kiwi authors available at the town library.
