Reading books come home regularly and can be shared and enjoyed together 

Encouraging children to talk about what they have read and retell the parts they remember is also valuable for their learning

We encourage reading for pleasure using Whare Pukapuka (Library) books

Poetry books also come home regularly

EPIC is our online reading space

Kiwi Kids News is another interesting place for curious minds with news articles children can understand

Children who see their parents as readers also find they start to enjoy reading 

Christchurch City Libraries - All children can have a membership card with a pin so that you can access digital resources as well as go into our many wonderful libraries across the city.

Reading books in you first language.
