3rd class have been enjoying D.E.A.R time. It means Drop Everything And Read. Here are some of the benefits and advantages of D.E.A.R time:
- DEAR gives children the opportunity to read books of their own choice. So much of what we do in school involves books and reading material selected by the teacher. DEAR time lets children pick whatever reading material they want to just enjoy.
- DEAR allows children to see that reading for fun and pleasure is a valuable experience.
- DEAR can help develop better writing skills. The more children read, the more they are exposed to the written word – and that will lead to better reading and writing skills.
Here we are doing it straight after yard to get back into working mode!
