Today the Word Wizards got to choose a novel or book to read from a brand new colection of books from Scholastic called The Core Reading Library. Each book comes with a bookmark which gives you a selection of activities to do before, during and after reading the book.
The book I am reading is called UFO (Unavoidable Family Outing) by Dave Hackett. One of the before reading activities I had to do was 'Atlas' it said: Look up an Atlas and find out how far it is from Sydney to Cape York. Estimate how long it would take to drive there. I estimated it would be 1900 Kilometers from Sydney to Cape York and would take two and a half days to get there. Everyone in the Word Wizards got a different book and when we have finished the one we are reading we get to choose a new one.
I am excited about getting to choose my own book and that there are so many to choose from.
