The Reading Room

Why have a reading corner when you can have a Reading Room?

We have a blog!

[The Reading Room @TheReadingRoom2]

Today people came to The Reading Room looking for different things:

📖 something to read
🗨 a chat
🛋 a safe space
😊 a friendly face
🌬 a break from the cold
🍽 a quiet place to eat

We all found what we needed & we all stayed to read.

5 Days
5 Mystery Readers
5 Brilliant Books

Storytime is the best time of day.

Today's Mystery Reader is getting ready! One hour to go!

[The Reading Room @TheReadingRoom2]

The BEST thing - even better than the books - has been the look of pure joy on the face of every Mystery Reader as they see the children appear in the meeting.

The Reading Room is back.
There's a little voice telling me that adding the whole school to one room could be a terrible idea, but I'm not listening to it. There are probably two weeks left of this online life. Now's the time to give things a go.

The Reading Room is now a Reading Google Classroom.

@LittleTigerUK @StephLaberis Thank you! That's fantastic!
We will be keeping an eye out for those videos, too.

[The Reading Room @TheReadingRoom2]

We're keeping story time going for our school on Class Dojo, but we need permission from publishers.
@LittleTigerUK, John Kelly, @StephLaberis,
can we read your book? Please?

[The Reading Room @TheReadingRoom2]

@LittleTigerUK @StephLaberis Fantastic, thank you!

Our reading journey in Year 6 is continuing to grow! Great to see poetry and graphic novels being added. @_Reading_Rocks_ @TheReadingRoom2

@jude_teacher The wrapped books at the bottom are on a bookshelf covered in cotton wool.

Our Reading Tree is all lit up and ready for December.

@jude_teacher They're pictures, not books. Laminated matt so not shiny and can be reused. This year they're bookmarks.

[The Reading Room @TheReadingRoom2]

@jude_teacher @Mrs_Y_ No, they're not books. They're pictures. The books were underneath.
It was like a big advert for the books.

[The Reading Room @TheReadingRoom2]

@HTMISTERK We loved our tree. We wrapped up books for the shelf underneath to be unwrapped at storytime every day.
As long as you know if you do a Christmas display, it has an expiry date and you'll end up having to change it in January.

New year,
new books,
new reading display.

Our readers are excited about helping us choose which of these 2019 releases to buy. So many books to get excited about!

[The Reading Room @TheReadingRoom2]

@Mrs_Y_ Blue tac, so they didn't get spoiled.
Lights were woven through. There may have been the occasional careful staple, but I don't think so.
The star was hanging from a drawing pin.

[The Reading Room @TheReadingRoom2]

@EmmaValerio82 @_Reading_Rocks_ The Christmas Eve Tree and Refuge are both beautiful and great for starting bigger conversations.
Jesus' Christmas Party is a good laugh.

[The Reading Room @TheReadingRoom2]

@_Reading_Rocks_ Here are some of reading displays.
We like to get people talking.

[Emma Valério @EmmaValerio82]

Hiding books under benches and behind the shed so they can come back to them tomorrow.

Hope I found them all.

[Emma Valério @EmmaValerio82]

Took a basket of books out at lunchtime & ks1 did brilliant things:
-Lots of reading (obvs)
-Sharing books
-Running around with books
-Setting up a Library & charging me a pound before they would use their scanner to let me have my own book!

Schools, if you want to get your pupils reading for pleasure this year, here is a plan. It's based on seeing what works in the hundreds of schools I've visited over the years. Please share.
