Read On!

It’s been busy in the Assumption School library! Students in grades 4 and 5 were invited to be “guest readers” for their classes. The library has already enjoyed the talents of Cameron Grell in Grade 5 and Ricky Fargo in Grade 4. There are even more volunteers extending into December and well into the New Year.

Reading stories aloud is not as easy as it may appear. There are many ingredients involved in creating a successful experience for both the reader and the audience. Some examples include the following: vocal inflection, enunciation, and how to hold a book effectively. It’s very gratifying to see the readers’ enthusiasm as well as the respect the audience shows to those students who are reading aloud. More to come in 2020!
