World Literacy Day

8th September is World Literacy Day.
The Manawatu Reading Association have put out some great suggestions for the day.
Here is a site they recommend for our parents.

I am going to introduce my class to Looky book on the day.

I am also going to share the Readers Oath with the class. We will make a book mark with it on.

Readers Oath
I promise to read
Each day and night.
I know it's the key to
growing up right.I'll read to myself,
I'll read to a crowd.
It makes no difference
If silent or loud.
I'll read at my desk,
At home and at school,
On my bean bag or bed,
By the fire or pool.
Each book that I read
Puts smarts in my head,
'cause brains grow more
thoughts
The more they are fed.
So I take this oath
To make reading my way
Of feeding my brain
What it needs every day.
