We have just come out of Mary MacKillop Week and are now about to head straight into Book Week. The theme for this year is ‘Symphony of Stories’. I still think the secret to most students’ success with their learning comes from reading. The more they read, the better. If they are too young to read, then the more you read to them, the better! (I must admit that I am finding it such a joy to read to my eight month old grandson). As long as they are reading books, you can’t go wrong. As a little boy, the only thing I liked reading was the Guinness Book of World Records, but at least I was reading something. I strongly urge all parents to encourage your children to read as many books as they can. It doesn’t really matter what they read, as long as they develop a love for it!
