Just wondered do your children get a story read to them every day at school? Mine don't seem to and never have (they are year 1 and year 3).
When I was at school we used to sit on the carpet at the end of the day for a story - usually a chapter book. I remember really enjoying it. It was nice to listen to a story for pleasure, the teach role modelled reading with expression and we usually had a discussion about the book, who we liked what we thought would happen next etc.
This just doesn't seem to happen now which I think is a real shame. I read to my children every night but I think there are probably a lot of children who don't get read to and being read to everyday could really help them.
Is our school unique in not doing this or do others not do it too. Is it that the day is just so packed now and teacher have to constantly be showing progression etc that this would be seen as 'ofstead' as a pointless activity?
