Today is World Book Day! World Book Day is a celebration to promote the enjoyment of books and reading. Today has been filled with lots of opportunities to read and talk about books.
I asked the children to bring in their favourite books. We each shared our book and the reason why it’s our favourite…
Lots of our reasons were to do with funny stories, adventure or learning new facts!
We also had Mrs Charlesworth visit us and share her favourite books with us. The room was very calm and quiet – the perfect environment for reading! Help at home by finding or setting up a cosy place to sit and read. Is it warm? Are you in bed? Are you with someone else while you read?
We swapped with Year 6 and discussed our books with them too. We learnt about some new books that we might like to read in the future. Here’s some of us in action…
Finally, we took part in a live lesson on BBC and their BIG LIVE READ. We heard loads of great recommendations from other children and schools.
What a fantastic day! Make sure your child reads everyday to improve their fluency and understanding.
