Lately there has been a very strong interest in reading books amongst the children, and much of the time, this has been initiated by the children themselves.
It was just the other day, that I caught this wonderful example on camera.
Max, Mollie, and Libby spent a lengthy period reading "We're Going On A Bear Hunt", and were able to tell the whole story word for word, and using such wonderful animation in their voices.
Through reading, Children develop an expectation that words and books can amuse, delight, comfort, illuminate, inform, and excite, as well as a familiarity with print and its uses by exploring and observing the use of print in activities that have meaning and purpose for children.
The learning through this experience, links to the New Zealand School Curriculum in the areas of English, the Arts, and Social Sciences.
