Each class has a dedicated time (of at least 3 days, weekly) in which the teacher reads a story to the whole class. During this time, the children have the opportunity to:

• Create a shared bonding experience
• Hear new words which enrich their vocabulary
• Understand stories beyond their reading ability
• Improve concentration and attention
• Develop interaction skills
• Develop connections
• Understand how fluent readers read
• Develop a rich language to use in their own writing.
