Fostering a love of reading
5th and 6th class enjoying their novel War Horse in the Rainforest Room. While it looks unconventional, fostering the love of reading is crucial to encouraging readers, so being cosy on a beanbag with shoes off creates a situation that is conducive towards the enjoyment of reading! There is a strong correlation between those who read and those who perform well academically so we would encourage this at home. Tips for encouraging reading at home can be found on our website at the following link: http://castletownnationalschool.ie/parents-2/support-for-parents/. Both the Arklow and Gorey libraries are fantastic for encouraging young readers.
