This half term we are really trying to promote 'reading for pleasure'. This means that we want children to enjoy reading rather than seeing as something that they have to do.
Alongside your child's school reading book (which is still important to read regularly to keep improving those key reading skills) we also invite your child to bring in something they enjoy reading from home to have in their tray.
This doesn't need to be a book!
We talked as a class today about some of the things that we enjoy reading at home and we had some great ideas! For example...
- A magazine
- A short news story of the day
- Jokes / silly stories
- Information pages printed from the internet on a topic of interest
- Notes from friends / family members (could you have a penpal at home?)
- Wordsearches / word puzzles
These are just a few suggestions. Any other ideas are welcome!
As we will be doing more D.E.A.R (drop everything and read) sessions where children can just have 5 minutes to enjoy reading - it'd be great to make it fun and meaningful to the children.
Here are a few photos from our session today...and a big thank you to Mrs Bales for bringing in some lovely magazines for the class.
If you catch your child reading at home, please do take a snap and we will be sure to display it in our new reading corner! I wonder which strange places we can find to read...
