Reading



Reading Challenge- This year I entered the premiers reading challenge, I have read a few books on the challenge list but I still need to add them on. I have completed the reading challenge the past few years so I’m keen to complete it again!

Class Serials- This year we were all given the choice to pick which novel we wanted to listen to, we could pick ‘holes’ read by my Graham/Dom or ‘ Diary of a wimpy kid’ read by Miss bates. I choose to listen to ‘Diary of a wimpy kid’. I am really happy with my choice because it’s a really funny book. Miss Bates has good expression and reads the book really well. We have read 3 of these books now.

Books I have read this year- This year for my birthday, my mum bought me a book collection by Cathy Cassidy, I decided to read my first one and I loved it. I decided to read the rest, so far I have read 2 and I’m over 12 pages from finishing off the one I’m on now.

Reading improvement- This year when I moved into grade 6 I was on level 6B. This year my reading has improved heaps, I think I have improved because last year I never got to read what I wanted, I had to read the library books and I didn’t enjoy them and I would get bored. I have now moved up to 6E the highest level, I am really happy.

Guided reading- Every week we do guided reading, we have one teacher and the other two teachers take little group of people to read with them. I think this works well.

Favourite books and authors - My favourite books this year are the Cathy Cassidy collection, my other favourite book was ‘Marley and Me’ by John Grogan. Also I like the ‘ Diary of a wimpy kid’ which we are reading as a class novel.
