Erin Creber - Year 1

                                   

 My favourite book is: “Daisy and the Trouble with Kittens” by Kes Gray.

I like it because it is about kittens. She says the trouble with …  and then goes on to tell a story. Daisy makes lots of new friends when she goes on holiday to Spain. She finds the kitten there. It makes me laugh and it has funny pictures in it.

Why I like reading?

I like to learn from reading information books. Some books can make me feel happy when I am sad. I enjoy reading to other people, my teddy, Grandma, Mum and Dad.

Breanna Craig - Year 4

My first real favourite book is:  “Treasure Island” by R.L.Stevenson

I like it because it was adventurous, descriptive and interesting. You never knew what was going to happen next. It has lots of events that go quickly and keep you interested.

Why I like reading?

It improves my vocabulary and my mind. I like how it puts you in another place. I like each book I read because it is really different.

Mitchell Oyston - Year 6

My favourite book is: "Eragon" by Christopher Paolini

 

I’ve read it over and over and I never get bored. It’s full of mystical dragons and a love story is in there too. There are lots of different mysteries that find the answers to which present more mysteries to solve. I really like that.

The Eragon series is about a poor, young, farm boy in the mountains who finds an egg and the story links him with Brom, the storyteller of their village.

Why I like reading?

I like reading because I can picture whatever story I’m reading in my head like I’m watching TV. I like reading also because it is really easy to find information in factual books and I can read almost every word fluently. Reading helps me pass the time and allows me to block out outside distractions. The more I read the easier it gets! Reading also allows me to write stories with more description and detail.
