Introduction or every journey begins with a small step:

We believe that Reading For Pleasure is not just

aproject, but a long term process. At first, we created

an English library, purchased many new books and

invited our students to read for their own pleasure. Our

main objective was that our students enjoy reading,

discover new worlds and enrich their language. We

wanted our pupils to think out of the box. In our library

we have many task after reading so they can reflect

their reading. We can encourage them. To create an

interesting discussion around the book and make

supportive environment.

We invited our students to create many different projects such as:

Alternative covers, advertisements, letters to a friend/ autor/ one of the characters and games such as:

• Vocabulary games

• Memory games

• Crosswords

• Word jumbles

book recommendations, posters or just regular projects.

Both weak and strong pupils read books and enjoyed the process.

Book recomendations and advertisements

BOOK REPORTS AND LOGOES

And more enjoyable projects

It a challenge to get the pupils read and on the way to

enjoy it. Everything that is related to reading has to be

fun.We have to motivate them to read all the time. We

have the influence to do that. We must help children

develop a love for reading.Children who are introduced

to book early are more prone to develop their language

skills.

And more…

The more pupils read the more children gain in language

ability and reading comprehension. The more children

learns and feel save with English.

so… we decided to make it a little bit differnt in order to encourage reading. We persuaded our students that:

Books are fun.

Books are exciting.

Reading shows intelligence.

Reading gives you something to do.

Reading helps expand knowledge and imagination.

Books help me to become more creative.

Reading teaches me about different lives and different places in the world.

I learn new vocabulary when I read books.

Anything that has to do with reading must be fun!

Some students decided to create digital books with the story written in their own words.

extreme reading

In order to Promote the Summer Reading Challenge at the summer term we’ll ask my pupils about the next project called “extreme reading”. Just drop everything and read. Set up a photographic competition for the most obscure and entertaining place that the pupils can be caught reading.
we’ll copy the sentence I found – A Readathon (מרתון) is a great way to encourage pupils to read for enjoyment and to
create a buzz around reading in school. Pupils will read as much as they can. picture themselves reading. we’ll tell them to put the pictures in the ppt document and present it to class when they come back to school. maybe even give a book as a gift to the best reader.
