BOOK REVIEWS

Every week in borrowing, the children in the Library get the opportunity to talk about the books they’ve been reading. This week, classes from Year 2 to Year 6 have begun reviewing their books following a three step format - putting the book in CONTEXT, giving a TEXT DESCRIPTION and then giving a JUDGEMENT.

We’ve found out that when one of your friends tells you about a good book, it’s more than likely that you’ll listen to what they say. In fact, children get ideas about which books to read from their friends first, then their Teacher Librarian and then from other people like their Parents or Teachers.

That’s why it is important to really give a good review when you’re talking to your friends!!
