Every Thursday, children from all over school have the opportunity to read to each other in the reading lounge. This week was lovely. Some of the children listened to the story of Little Red Riding Hood. It was so nice to see children supporting eachother to read tricky words. Another group read The Gruffalo and used lots of expression to bring the characters to life for their audience. All of the children got so much out of this in different ways. The listeners developed attention skills and a love for listening to stories. The readers developed confidence in reading aloud, encountered unfamiliar words and cooperated with peers. Great job all round!
The Reading Lounge is one of my favourite places to go in school, it’s always a lot of fun to get lost in a good story! A big well done to the very grown up School Council members photographed reading to younger pupils.
You all did such a super job… what a great way to develop your confidence and encourage the younger children to enjoy reading.
