Getting Started
Challenge your child or children to build a personal mini-library of books or other things to read (or listen to) they would like to read at home and share with others in your home. This might include revisiting a previously read book or magazine, looking at online collections, and sharing books with a sibling. See the list of possible online resources included below.
Questions and prompts to support your child:
- What are some of your favourite books/authors?
- Is there a book that you enjoyed that you would like to re-read?
- What are some topics that you would like to learn more about?
- What is at the top of your reading list? Why? Do you think we might find other books like this?
- How could we organize these books/titles/topics?
Possible Sources of texts for reading:
- Favourite books you own
- Favourite books of siblings
- Boardgame directions – to get ready for a family game night (reading them aloud is great, too!)
- Cookbooks
- Books or other reading material in your first language
- WRDSB Library Learning Commons (sign in to Virtual Library Elementary with your PAL and Password)
- Scholastic Free Online Collection
- KidLitTV
