Reading Goals
Last week, in the LC week we were talking about reading goals. I have been encouraging those children in Years 3 to 6 to think about setting their own goals for 2013. I have suggested that 40 books is the minimum amount that the children should be aiming to read in a year however most children have challenged themselves and want to read many more. Talk to your child and find out what their reading goal for the year is. Keep chatting with them and keep encouraging them to strive to achieve it.
Remember
We hope you loved your Secret Santa book. Remember to return them this week so your friends can enjoy them too.
Notable books of 2012
Are you constantly on the look out for more books for your children? Take a look at this list of notable books from the American Library Association. We have many of these in school but you may want to load your e-reader with some of these fabulous titles. http://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/notalists/ncb
Want to encourage your child to read more?
If you are not sure how to encourage your child to read more book trailers may be what you are looking for. This site is excellent and introduces many new titles and authors. http://www.booktrailersforreaders.com/
Replacement fees
We encourage our children to be responsible and would much rather they came and told us if there has been an accident than hiding the book back on the shelf or getting you to call us.
The good news is that if you thought a book was lost, and you then find it, we are happy to reimburse you. Just send the book back with your child and we will return the cash.
The Unforgotten Coat
A must read for years 4, 5 and 6 upwards.
