World Book Day
WORLD BOOK DAY – Thursday, 7th March 2024
We all want children and young people to develop a life-long habit of reading for pleasure and enjoy the improved life chances this brings them.
World Book Day supports you to promote a reading for pleasure culture. We encouraged the children to bring in photos of the different places they may read or be read to. These ranged from the laundry basket, toy box, in bed, in the bath, under the kitchen table and more. One of the many wonderful things about reading is you can read anywhere. ‘READ YOUR WAY’!
On World Book Day the children came dressed in a favourite character. The staff joined in and we all had enormous fun and reading books throughout the morning.
We can support a child to read for pleasure:
Being read to regularly
Having books at home and school
Having a choice in what to read
Finding time to read
Having trusted help to find a book
Making reading FUN!
