📚 The "Magic 20" Challenge! 📚

Did you know that reading with your child for just 20 minutes a day exposes them to nearly 1.8 million words a year? In Australia, research shows that children who read for pleasure every day perform significantly better in literacy tests than those who don’t. It’s the ultimate "brain gym"! Plus, it’s the best time of day to snuggle up, get silly with character voices, and escape into a different world together. Whether it's a Junior Fiction adventure or a Stage 3 Picture Book, those 20 minutes are an investment in their imagination that pays off forever.

Grab a book, grab a comfy spot, and let the magic happen!

Lunch activities: 

Week 2: Drawing and games

Week 3: Craft and card making

Week 4: Board games

As always, the library is open most lunch times and students can return and borrow books then.

Happy reading,
