Preparing for Year 7... Reading!
Year 6's are known for their enthusiastic attitude towards reading however in Year 7 students sometimes decide that they do not like reading anymore. What are some good ways way to ensure that your kids keep reading over the summer?
Click on the link above. These are some of the most popular library books with Year 7's at Highlands School. Has your child read any of the books on this list? It might be an idea for your child to choose some to read over the summer. The books are really quite good so maybe you could pick one to read too. Try my list Fun Books that get kids into reading if your child is a very reluctant reader.
I would advise that if your child isn't already a member of Enfield libraries that you consider joining them up. It's totally free and they have 17 branches in the borough. Not only do they have great book stock and events for teenagers they also have free online resources for homework and an e-book platform.
3) Borrowing E-books
An added benefit of being a library member is that you can borrow free e-books for your kids using their e-lending sytem Overdrive. You can read using your phone, tablet, Nook e-reader or Kobo. Instructions for how to download are on the website, all you need to get started is yourt Enfield library membership number.
4) Summer Reading Challenge
Local libraries are also running a Summer Reading Challenge for the under 13's. There are plenty of interesting books on the list and they are all available at local libraries.
