The document discusses the importance of reading for students at Sandy Beach Primary School. It identifies several types of reading: real-world reading, which is necessary to function in life; information age reading, which is important for most careers; pleasure reading, which can be a fun leisure activity; and communication and lifelong learning reading. It also provides tips that encourage reading at home, such as reading to children, playing games to build coordination skills, limiting TV time, talking with children, and visiting the library.
