Discussion in Groups

What was difficult for you?

Any areas you think you need upskilling on ?

What are the implications for your students in your own library?

What would be different in your own library?

Reading and Reading Aloud

A Commission on Reading, created by two major educational institutions in the US in 1983, spent 2 years going through the thousands of reading-related research projects published in the preceding 20 years. Its report, entitled Becoming a nation of readers included the following declaration:

“ The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children.”

And most importantly, in finding evidence to support reading aloud in the classroom, they added: “It is a practice that should continue throughout the grades.”

Student / class / school challenges

How many minutes can you read ?

If every child read, or was read to, for 15 minutes each day x 7 days = 105 minutes a week, x 7 weeks holiday = 735 minutes per child, x 20 children in a class = 14,700 minutes or 245 hours, x 10 classes in a school =147,000 minutes or 2,450 hours of reading

Mem Fox – 15 minutes is 1% of the day … (“and if you’re not prepared to spend 1% of your time reading to your child you shouldn’t be having children – get a goldfish”)

How many books can you read ? How many words ?

Article What reading does for the mind : 5 th graders reading for 14.2 minutes per day = 1,146,000 words read per year

If a 5 th grader reads for 14.2 minutes per day and reads 1,146,000 words per year, then that is 3,148 words per day (rate for younger children ? half ?)

7 weeks x 7 days per week = 49 days x 3,148 words = 154,252 words read during the school holidays, x 20 children in the class is over 3 million words !
