Family Reading Afternoon

On Thursday 10th February I held the first Family Reading Afternoon in the RVIS library. It was a successful afternoon with lots of families reading and sharing books together. Our principal came by to read aloud one of her favourite stories and each student went into the draw to win a new book to take home. I had positive feedback from some of the parents who attended with their children, so I think the Family Reading Afternoon will become a regular part of the library program. I liked it as it was easy to organize, it didn't impact on the daily schedule as it was after school, and it was great to see families enjoying books together. A great end to the week!

Some ideas for upcoming reading afternoons are:

• Bring along a teddy (lower grades)
• Library scavenger hunt
• Poetry
  
• Fairy Tales
• Arabic
• Dr. Seuss
