Tauranga Libraries Summer Reading Programme

Tauranga Library Website

Be in quick as there are limited spaces. Great way to keep up the children's reading over the long summer break.

Reading

Hi Room 8 families,

I have been doing some reading myself lately and came across this nice website from the  National Library of New Zealand.  Being a competent reading is the door to the rest of the curriculum for our learners. I found a section on 'Reading at home' and thought I would give you the opportunity to have a look at the information available.

Our focus in reading at present is decoding, fluency & expression and then deeper understanding. It is important that with so much reading material and information available to our children now, that they develop 'information fluency'. This basically means they not only read text, but also critique the information and then apply what they have learned.

Above all, we want our children to enjoy their reading.
