reading challenge
Challenge 1 - Read a story in an unusual place or position
Sitting in a chair to read can sometimes seem boring.
Why don’t you try reading somewhere different.
Could you read a book while doing your exercises, sitting in a tree, whilst doing a handstand or the splits, on a trampoline, under the bed or even in a box! Be creative!
Email photos to jakintunde@cottagegrove.co.uk and let me know if I can share them.
I am looking forward to seeing what unusual places or positions you end up reading in.
Adults I would love to see your pictures as well.
Have fun and take care,
Mrs Akintunde
Challenge 2 - Listen to a story
Reading yourself can sometimes seem like hard work, so listen to someone else reading a story.
There are many places to hear stories for free but some places to start include:
- The cottage grove facebook page, every weekday new stories are added read by adults you may recognise.
- CBeebies where you can listen to a bedtime story.
- Youtube - look for your favourite story or author
- Go to www.story-space.online or https://www.storylineonline.net/ to hear stories read by different celebrities
- www.wizardingworld.com to hear chapters from the Harry Potter series of books being read
- www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/watch-and-listen/ to listen to David Walliams read extracts from his books
Record yourself reading your favourite story and then send it to your friends or family so they can listen to a story.
Email me your recording of a story to jakintunde@cottagegrove.co.uk or let me know what stories you enjoyed listening to.
Have fun and take care,
Mrs Akintunde
