Dear Parents,
I hope that you and your families are keeping safe and well. It is so important that everybody tries to complete some reading everyday so I have compiled a few resources that might help you achieve this.
1. Real books! Hopefully you have a stash at home that the boys might enjoy reading.
2. Ebooks and audio books: It's now possible to join the library online & use @BorrowBox straight away!
Just go to librariesireland.ie/join, complete the registration, set a PIN and you'll be able to log in to Borrowbox with those details to download eBooks and audiobooks
3. www.oxfordowl.co.uk. This ebook library has over 250 books in it and offers free access to teachers and parents once you create an account. They also have some vocabulary and comprehension activities for most of the books.
3. https://www.getepic.com/students. This is also an online library. For struggling readers there is a Read to Me feature which might be helpful. I have set up a class code for you to login with : see image below.
I hope some of these resources might be helpful to you. Feel free to send me on some pictures of you enjoying some stories together!
