Hello Mrs Clift

The best book I have read these year was X- Zone because it was non-fiction book and had many facts and many things about running. Running is my favorite sport and I also like reading non-fiction books the most. X-Zone is a Brilliant book to read!

Hi Zahra,
No stickers needed (PRC). It can be any book you have read this year.
Think about the comprehension strategies you have been learning this year. What did you connect with? Did the story help you visualise? If so, what?
Remember, it has to be in 25 words or less.

Hi Bloggers,

Because you only have 25 words to use, start with the title of your story and use 'because'
For example,
'Dust' by Colin Thompson because....

Be creative.. do a draft and then post!

Dear miss Clift,

My favourite book is 'The Bravest penguin of all'.I find this book about being brave no matter you are small or big.I also find this book being different because the penguin in blue but the others are different.The last thing I like about this book is that it shows a little penguin being what it wants to be and help the bigger ones to show he is the bravest of them all.

Well thats my favourite book of them all 'The bravest penguin of all'.
