REMOTE LEARNING

It’s such a delight seeing your child’s work. Thanks to these students who shared their library tasks so far with me this week.

READING AT HOME

I’d like to recommend some apps that may help you find your child’s next read while you are at home.

The podcast by R.A. Spratt- Bedtime Stories. It’s funny and is given a big thumbs up by my 9 year old.   I spoke to a Grade 6 student recently and she also expressed her love of this author. Give it a go!	If you are a member of a local library you can use this app for free. They are in e-book and audio book forma. For a child who is learning to read, listening to an adult read is a great way for them to experience books and stories in a different format. There are so many audio book apps but this is one that I use regularly. Audio books are a great way to practice the skill of listening.
Storynory has been giving free audio stories to the world since November 2005. They are a podcast and a website with audio streaming.	History Storytime for children told by 7-year-old Sophie, 5-year-old Ellie and their Daddy. Exciting history stories of Knights, Tudors, Romans, World Wars, Revolutions, Explorers, Scientists and Sports.
Stay tuned for more library information next week.	We all have access to this wondeful website. Username: stidrouin Password: stidrouin   https://storyboxlibrary.com.au/
