With the building of an Interactive Whiteboard classroom in the library, we’ve taken the time to reorganise reading and learning spaces in the library. While we are still in some chaos, I believe the more open layout will facilitate easier access to the  novels  in our fiction collection. The Fiction Collection has been divided into Fiction and Junior Fiction. Junior Fiction will be shelved in open shelving along the  Northern Wall facing out. This allows students to  see the front cover of  and to see immediately that a book looks interesting enough to select and read! Seating has  been arranged in front of the shelves to allow browsing and reading near the books.

There are so many ways to present a reading log. Have a look at the suggestions below and if you have an idea you’d like to try let us know…

Consider the following
A book blurb, a book trailer, a postcard, a drawing, a storyboard using paper or whatever, a podcast, vodcast, a blog of your own, a wiki, a group presentation, an entry on an authors website, a written review, an article in the “Springboard”, you tell us!!!
