Do you like borrowing new books? Why?

Series or single books?

Do you like to read your way through a series? Or do you prefer reading books that don’t have sequels or books where the characters are used again?

Where am I?

Use a book setting to design a “Where am I?”

Example:

I am on an island in the middle of a wide blue sea.

I have an Emergency Cave and a Lookout Palm.

Jack likes to sit on Selkie’s Rock.

Where am I?

Is it too hot to read?

What short, easy reads would you recommend for hot, sticky summer days?

Who would you cheer on?

I have read a couple of books where the authors seem to want the reader to cheer on or encourage a character or two. I felt like that with Billy in “How to Eat Fried Worms” and Penny from “Penny Pollard’s Letters”. Have you read any books like that?

Find out about your teacher’s favourite books and then write something similar to this about your teacher’s favourite book:

I work with many books.

I like reading stories.

I see most of the students in the school at least once a week.

My favourite story when I was a child was the old fairy tale ‘The Twelve Dancing Princesses’ by the Brothers Grimm.

Who am I?

The answer is Mrs Wade!

What would you ask your favourite author?

Last week, Miss Andrea, Lola and I had the joy of attending the launch of Jackie French’s new book ‘A Rose for the ANZAC Boys’. Mrs French talked about her life and books for nearly an hour and then we were able to ask questions. Someone asked her what her favourite book is. She has many favourite books, so she couldn’t really answer that one. Someone asked her about wombats, so she told us all about the adventures of living with so many of these animals.

So, who is your favourite author and what would you like to ask him/her if you could? Remember that popular authors are asked some questions again and again, so you probably need to know something about the author to ask be given an interesting answer.

I would like to be …

If you could choose to become any character from a book, who would it be? Why?
