Readers' Cafe

Here is an insight into our Readers' Café. This is something that runs every Friday morning in Room 14.

It simply involves us sharing what we have been reading for enjoyment during the week. 

We do this in our literacy groups. One person in each group is a designated observer. They watch our discussions take place and award secret points for sharing, listening and questioning. Each group winner is then the observer the following week.

This has been a great success for us. It encourages us to increase our reading mileage, search for books that interest us, develop our conversational skills and recommend books to others.

It's always a nice way to end our week, creating a relaxed environment and 'winding down' atmosphere in our classroom.
