Room 10 Reading

Welcome to Room 10's Reading page! 

Some favourite reading quotes: 

"Reading should not be presented to children as a chore or duty. It should be offered to them as a precious gift." — Kate DiCamillo

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you'll go." — Dr. Seuss

Each Week Room 10 read a Big Book 

What are Big Books and Why read Big Books?

Big Books are literally 'Big Books'. Large print and colourful illustrations that allow the whole classroom to share good stories, memorable poems and interesting books that engage all learners. 

Big Books enrich oral language development through my modelled reading, through risk-free participation by the children in subsequent readings and discussions, and through the meaningful teaching of skills within context — all positive and therefore powerful learning experiences. 

Watch this space to see us reading Big Book with Miss Green and taking part in some follow up activities. WE LOVE BIG BOOK!! Some big books we have read so far:
