Welcome back everyone. I hope your holidays were good and that lots of holiday reading took place. Next week I will post book reviews and recommendations from roll classes for reading during roll call. I also have some busy students finding out “What is your favourite book?”. So, join us to find out what books staff, students and parents like best.

Keep reading!

We began our blog during National Literacy and Numeracy Week 2008. We hope to inspire others to read for at least 20 minutes every day. We will share ideas and discuss great books.

We began with a survey of what staff and students were reading on Wednesday 3rd September 2008. Here are our results:

How many staff/students are reading:

          FICTION=120                 NON-FICTION=176

romance=12          horror=15

fantasy=19            mystery=18

adventure=30        comedy=14

science fiction=10

newspaper=36       magazine=57

textbook=73         other=66

For how many hours a week do you read? 

0-2=146     2-4=37      4-6=17     over 8=11
