Read to Self and Read to Someone

So why do we 'Read to Self'
and 'Read to Others?'

1/2DW found some great reasons.

* To learn new things.
* To have fun.
* To make us better readers.
* So we can concentrate on our reading.
* To give us time to think.


Today we broke our record in 'Read to Self' and reached 16 minutes and 50 seconds. Mrs Downes was so proud of us!
Scissors beats paper! luca gets to read first.


We play scissors paper rock to see who will read first.
Josh is hiding under a table away from any distraction
Harrison is concentrating on reading his good fit book.
Vishal is relaxing while he reads his book.
Emily A sat on the fold out lounge today.
Shayden helps Logan in Read to Someone.
Kaitlyn reading to herself.
Zack Reading to Self
Kieran and Harrison
Mikinley hiding under a desk reading to herself.
Eliza is reading to herself.
Charlotte looks like she's reading a great book.
Sienna likes reading to herself
Eliana and Mohit are concentrating.
Keeley like reading up high.
Our new record!
Lachlan reading in the book corner.
Joshua and Mohit reading to each other.
