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,
