The Premier's Reading Challenge
The Premier’s Reading Challenge opened on
March 1st and must be completed by Friday August 20th. The students can access
the PRC student page from their student portal. Instructions are given to the
students in library lessons on how to manage their reading log.
Kindergarten
The students will study the difference between fiction and nonfiction books. The
pictures, words and elements of both genres and the reason for reading them will
be examined.
Visual Literacy
The students in grades one to six will develop their understanding
of how stories can be communicated using images- both still images and moving
images. Through an in-depth study of wordless picture books and picture books
with text, at their own level, they will explore how visual narratives are
constructed. They will engage in interpretation of the settings, events,
characters and themes expressed in these texts. They will also learn some of the
visual codes and conventions used by illustrators to communicate their stories
and engage with their audience. We have a very wide range of books in the
library at all reading levels which enable the students to gain a greater
understanding of the elements of visual literacy. They will also be encouraged
to use these elements in their own experiences as illustrators.
We are off to a great start in the library and look forward to many reading adventures.
