World Read Aloud Day
On the first week of school for 2021, É«ÇéÖ±²¥ celebrated World Read Aloud Day. This popular event celebrates
the joy of reading and sharing stories in three easy steps:
1. Select a book
2. Find a buddy
3. Read aloud!
It was lovely to see our K-10 students taking time out to share their favourite books with each other. A
highlight was one of our Year 10 students rushing to the Library after reading with his Year 6 buddy to
borrow the book they had read together!
Reading aloud provides a number of opportunities and benefits for children of all ages including strengthening their
vocabulary, increasing their attention span, building connections between the spoken and written word, providing a way
of exploring and discussing emotions and perhaps most importantly providing enjoyment.
So, why not grab a book and a
buddy and share a book together on the weekend!
