Reading



This year I am doing the Premiers Reading Challenge. Last year I completed the Premiers Reading Challenge and I hope to do so this year as well. I have to read fifteen books and the challenge finishes in August. So far I’ve got about six books on the challenge, but I haven’t updated my books in awhile. I’m guessing that I would a bit over ten books if I put them on. This year we have been reading class serials. You had a choice of which book you could listen to. The choices were ‘Holes’ or ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’. I chose ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’. The book ‘Holes’ is taking really long to read and is still being read at the moment. We finished ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ so we read the next book in series ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules’ and we finished that one as well so we read the next in the series ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw’. We finished that one so we went in to the last book in the series ‘Diary of a Wimpy: Dog Days’. No, we haven’t finished that one yet. I really enjoy the series. It is really funny and I can’t wait until it comes out on cinemas. ** SQUIRT (Sustained, Quiet, Uninterrupted, Independent, Reading, **** Time.): ** I am really happy with my reading this year. What I like about it is that I can read whatever I like. My favourite books that I have read are the entire ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ series. I also enjoy the ‘Nancy Drew’ books. I think I have improved with my reading because I can read whatever I like and take in more information because I’m interested in it. I think a way to improve with my reading is not read so many great big books, but small ones. Also because the books that I read are so big/long I may not be able to complete the Premiers Reading Challenge. In guided reading you would have a piece of writing and you would slowly read through it with your teacher. After reading a paragraph you would stop and explain what the text meant. I feel really comfortable in my guided reading group. I am in the Yellow group with, Jess, Georgia, Zoe and Ella. Shared reading is when the whole of grade six sit in front of the Interactive Whiteboard and read a piece of writing. Sometimes we get given a piece of paper instead. After you have gone through the writing you will be sent off to do a task. In two of three sessions you will get pulled out for about twenty minutes to forty minutes to do guided reading. My favourite author is C.S. Lewis. He wrote the ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ series. I also enjoy the Enid Blyton books as well. One of my favourite books of hers would have to be ‘Mr. Twiddle. There are a few ‘Mr. Twiddle’ books. At the moment C.S. Lewis is dead. I will always enjoy his books though. I like Mrs. Keene as well. (I’m not sure what her first name is.) She wrote most of the ‘Nancy Drew’ series because some people have added on to the series.
