Today, March the 4th, is International Read Aloud Day!

To celebrate this special day we made sure we had a long partner reading session for our Daily 5 reading today.

We read with a partner and chose lots of different books – big books, non fiction books about bodies and a variety of fiction stories. We also had 2 parents hear us reading too.

We love to read aloud with each other – we can coach each other to work out unfamiliar words, listen to the expression used by our partner, perform mini plays (each taking a part) and retell the story with each other.
