Reading

Please continue to read daily at home. Remember, reading to your child is an important as listening to them read to you! 

If you read a particularly good book, it would be great if you could write a short book review about it to recommend it to your classmates! Here are some questions you could answer about it:

What was the book about?                  What was your favourite part?

Who was your favourite character?       Who else do you think would like the book?

Can you make connections to other texts you know?

by Ross Montgomory

Max is used to spending time alone - it's difficult to make friends in a big, chaotic school when you're deaf. He prefers to give his attention to the little things in life... like making awesome, detailed replica models.
