The class is silent, nothing can be heard but noses sniffing, pages turning, the odd cough or a child stirring in the bean bag rearranging them to delve more into their book.
The teachers are happy. The children are reading more.
Did you know that adding 10 minutes a day to a child's reading makes a big difference over the year?
Their reading becomes more fluent. It is actually a 200% increase in word exposure over one year!
Research shows us that the benefits of reading 10 minutes more a day include improved performance in General knowledge, vocabulary, reading comprehension, verbal fluency and spelling.
D.E.A.R = DROP EVERYTHING AND READ
I witnessed this and it is a pleasure to see children so focussed on their reading, keep it up Seniors:)
