Kia ora tātou,
Week nine and, as promised, this update is focused on opportunities
to engage priority learners in continuing their learning over the break! But
first let’s take a moment to celebrate a very important birthday! Happy 50th birthday 'Ready to Read' It’s time to celebrate
- the Ready to Read series turned fifty this year! For half a century, Ready to
Read books have inspired, delighted, stretched, and supported New Zealand
students as they learn to read. There are more details on the Ready To
Read Flyer including important changes to text levels.
I have noticed a real increase in my social media stream of ideas
for keeping readers reading through the summer holiday break:
Check out some of these:
Literacy
Tips and Tricks for parents discussion in the vln
has a wealth of ideas to support learners through the break.
Reading
Together is a great Home School Partnership support.
Reading at
Home from National Library has great ideas.
Kapiti
Coast Library Holiday reading support Perhaps we could each
add a response with the library holiday programme in our individuals areas to
support all learners across NZ. Let’s
see if we can have NZ covered by the end of the school year with links to send
home with our learners.
Dunedin
Public Library Summer Reading Programme. I have also linked my home town programme to
get this initiative going.
