READING AT HOME

Research suggests that children who read for 20 minutes a day will read 1,800,000 words in a year. Children who read for 5 minutes a day will read only 282,000 words in a year.   Regular reading at home can encourage students to enjoy reading more and to have stronger reading skills.  Time spent reading can also expand your child’s vocabulary, inspire their creativity and help them to relax.  Reading can also be a rewarding experience for parents who can observe their child’s increasing reading skill and give them positive praise.

To enhance our Home Reading program for junior school, I am seeking donations of the following books.  These stories will complement our existing home reading program with stories written by great authors going home weekly with explicit text related questions families can ask their children.

Thank-you to the families who have already donated books, much appreciate.
