📚 Drop Everything and Read – June Reading Initiative 📚
During the month of June, we are encouraging all children to “Drop Everything and Read” as part of our whole-school reading initiative.
Our aim is to help children develop a love of reading and to encourage time to rest, relax, recharge and read at the end of a busy school year. During this initiative, there will be no traditional written homework. Instead, we hope children will spend time enjoying books, magazines, comics, audiobooks or any reading material of their choice.
Children may read independently or enjoy shared reading with a parent, sibling or family member. We also encourage families to visit and join their local library over the summer months.
Each child will receive a simple reading log to record their reading, in place of written homework over the coming days.
We hope this initiative creates lots of happy reading moments this June!
Senior Infants had great fun in the sun last week!
Best of luck to all our past pupils as they begin their Junior Certificate and Leaving Certificate examinations tomorrow.
