Booktime in the classroom
Why use your Booktime packs in class?
In a recent evaluation, we asked teachers what benefits they felt Booktime brought to their school. Here’s what teachers said:
• 91% think Booktime helps children engage with reading for pleasure
• 89% say Booktime helps them as teachers to support children to enjoy reading
• 84% think Booktime helps families engage in reading as family
We’ve gathered here all the session ideas and activity sheets for this year's two Booktime titles: Why Elephant has a Trunk from the Tinga Tinga Tales series created by Claudia Lloyd, and Face Painting by Monica Hughes.
