The Book Buzz 2022 books are here! The Book Trust has selected 17 titles this year to encourage a love of reading. There are 17 titles across a wide variety of titles, from non-fiction, reads for curious minds to fast paced page-turners, meaning there is something for everyone.
Thank you to my Year 7 book monitors who have been helping get the books ready for the library. From next week the library will have two copies each of the 17 titles. Which one will you choose?
How to choose a book is a skill that we talk about frequently in the library. We all look for different things whether it be the graphic on the front page, the blurb or even the size of the writing. Reading the first page can often be a very good indication if you will enjoy the book. For children I encourage the Five Finger Rule. Children open any book to any page and start reading. When they come to a word they don’t know they put up a finger. 0-1 fingers: It’s too easy. 2-3 fingers: It’s just right. 4-5 fingers: It’s too hard (or best read aloud with a friend/parent).
