From the Principal: For the love of reading

Studies have shown that there are more benefits for both adult and child that come with

reading than just building a bond – particularly when it comes to education. Emma Vardy,

a research associate in the psychology of education at Coventry University, UK shares

five ways that reading with children can help their general education.

It opens up new worlds Reading together as a family can instil a love of books from an

early age. By taking the time to turn the pages together, adults can help children see that

reading is something to enjoy and not a chore. Those children who read because they

enjoy it read more books, and read more widely too. So giving your child a love of books

helps expand their horizons.

It can build confidence Children judge their own ability to read from observing their

classroom peers, and from conversations with parents and teachers. When sharing a

book, and giving positive feedback, parents can help children develop what is known as

self-efficacy – a perceived ability to complete the specific activity at hand. Children who

think they cannot read will be less inclined to try, but by using targeted praise while

reading together, parents can help children develop belief in their own skills.

It can build positive reading attitudes. Children are more likely to read in their leisure

time if there is another member of the family that reads, creating a reading community the

child feels they belong to. Parental beliefs and actions are related to children’s own

motivations to read,

It expands their language When reading a book together, children are exposed to a

wide range of language. In the early stages of literacy development this is extremely

important. Good language development is the foundation to literacy development after all,

and increased language exposure is one of the fundamental benefits of shared book

reading. Shared book reading early on can have a long-term benefit by increasing

vocabulary skills. And if they encounter a word they don’t understand, they have a grown

up on hand to explain it to them in a way that makes sense to them. When children are

taught to read while sharing a book, it can improve alphabet knowledge, decoding skills,

spelling, and other book-related knowledge (such as how to actually read a book). Doing

something as simple as sounding out the letters of a word they do not understand can

vastly improve a child’s skills.

It can help their speech and language awareness Formal shared reading can also

involve the use of intonation, rhythm and pauses to model what is known as prosody.

This is not a skill that is directly taught, but by simply pausing when needed or changing

the tone of your voice can help children develop fluency when reading aloud. This is one

of the reasons that shared book reading is not just for pre-schoolers. Demonstrating what

is involved in reading complex text aloud fluently is very valuable for children of all ages.

The most important thing to remember is to have fun. Interest in reading emerges from

enjoying it with a parent. If you’re interested and make an effort, it can have a huge

impact on a child’s engagement with reading.

Student News Out and About

Ronald McDonald House On the 8th of March, the School and Vice Captain, Maximo Di Blasio and Aidan Zorbas, went with Ms Gershon and Mr Gowland to donate some food to help the families of sick chil-dren who need to stay at Ronald McDonald House in Rand-wick. We donated lots of food, treats and basic needs for families who have come from far and wide. We had a quick picture with the Ronald McDonald statue and the donations for the website. All the staff at Ronald McDonald House really appreciated that we had donated some items to make life a little easier for those who need to stay there. This is something that anyone can do, and the people at Ronald McDonald house would really value. There are many ways that you can help out like making a dinner for a night, or donating a basket of goodies. Written by Maximo Di Blasio and Aidan Zorbas.

We loved being at the Spot Festival on Sunday. Thanks to all of our visitors!
