Today was the kick-off to Read-In-Week. In my previous posts you already know how much I love books and reading to children. For the past month in our reader’s workshop we have been talking about reading and answering the questions of WHO reads, and WHEN, WHERE, WHAT and WHY readers read. We have learned that reading happens all the time, for various purposes and in many different places.
Who Reads…..
Moms, dads, grandparents, children, students, mechanics, cooks, doctors, bus drivers
What I Read…
Newspapers, magazines, books, brochures, ads, catalogues, letters, cards, notes, lists, maps, cookbooks, email
When I Read…
Morning, day, night, at school, when driving, when shopping
Where I Read…
Car, school, kitchen, bedroom, living room, outside, garage
Why I Read…
To learn, to build, to fix, to cook, to relax, for fun, for enjoyment
So as EPL (Edmonton Public Library) would say,
Ready, Set, Read!
Ready... Find a good book, magazine or computer screen.
Set... Choose a comfortable spot and block out any distractions.
Read... Enjoy yourself. Have fun. Learn!
If we are able to raise a reader today, tomorrow they will be a leader.
