Book Week
19 – 25 August Lets celebrate all things Books. Here is the school timetable, what can you do at home to celebrate the love of reading. Here are some ideas.
- Have a family read-a-thon. Challenge cousins, uncles, aunts and grandparents.
- Read together as a family. Turn off all devices and schedule a family reading time.
- Read a book of funny poetry. All books count.
- Build a reading fort. An easy way to do this is by placing two chairs with the backs facing inward (towards each other). Then drape a blanket over the chairs.
- Adopt a reading friend. Maybe this is a new stuffed animal. Or a favourite stuffed animal or toy. Let children read to their friends.
- Read to a pet. Or sign children up to read to the pets at a local animal
- shelter (some offer this type of program).
- Cook a recipe for a food from the book.
