Reading Log Student Resource

Dear students

Here's my first post of the year. Once again, I'm blogging resources because I find blogging both useful and fun.

Mike Fowler has created a handy little question and answer sheet that contains a good overview of Reading Log 8808 Level 1 Wide Reading. (Don't ask me why its 8808 and not 123 or 52 or whatever--that's an interesting question!)

Please complete your Reading Logs in your Exercise Books.

Just for the record, I'm currently re-reading: Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden and Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner. For the first time I'm reading Seeing Things byTed Hughes and I've just nearly finished P. Craig Russell's graphic novel of Neil Gaiman's excellent Coraline.
