2019 Readarama Roller Coaster Launch: I Love Reading  

Surprised Year 7 students were ushered into the hall to the rousing tune of Everyone’s a Winner and delighted by the antics of colourful carnival characters at the Readarama Roller Coaster Launch on the 13th February.

Readarama is the Year 7 and 8 reading program implemented by the English Department and Library at the Cranbourne Campus. The program is designed to encourage a love of reading and to improve literacy. Everyone is a winner with Readarama as every student is expected to complete the Readarama Roller-Coaster Ride. Students read for 25 hours between now and the end of Term 3. Of course, many students will want to complete more than one Ride and have set themselves their own challenging reading goal. The biggest readers in each class and year level will receive some great prizes. The competitive streak in both students and teachers will most likely come to the fore as the Year 7 and 8 classes which read the most will win a free pizza lunch.

Another great feature of Readarama is that students can read whatever they like: fiction, information books, magazines or newspapers in print or electronic form.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to ask their student what they are reading and help them by regularly signing the Readarama Record Sheet in the Student Record Book.

Happy Reading!
