Book Reviewers Wanted

For the last two years we have been fortunate enough to be chosen to review books for the Herald Sun and now the Geelong Advertiser. The books we are given to review are mostly suitable for grade 3-6 students.

I currently have 4 books that need to be read and reviewed. This can be in partnership as parent/student; or students may be able to work independently. It is also something that needs to be completed in a reasonable timeframe and at home. Book reviews need to be typed and 100 words. If your child is interested in being a book reviewer this year, please email me and I will keep them in mind if a suitable book comes in.

Story Box Library

Just a reminder to parents and new families that we have a subscription to Story Box Library. There is a link to the website below, or you can download the app. I encourage you to try it out.

Audiobooks

If your child isn’t into reading, or if they haven’t found the genre that they love yet, get them listening to audio books. Also known as ear-reading, it’s a great way for our students to explore and develop a love of story. I use the app BorrowBox which is free through the Local Community Library-Myli.
