GET INVOLVED IN BOOK WEEK NI AND READ FOR 15 MINUTES EACH DAY DURING 19th- 25th OCTOBER.
What is Book Week NI?
Book Week NI is a joint initiative arising from the partnership between BBC Northern Ireland and Libraries NI and the event is now going into its fifth year.
This year’s focus
This year’s theme is Stories and Storytelling; focusing on stories that matter to each one of us and encouraging everyone to participate and share stories from books that matter to them.
The aim is to inspire people of all ages to discover or rediscover the joy of reading by pledging to take 15 minutes to read during and preferably throughout the week. This is particularly prevalent with key messages such as encouraging parents and carers to read and share stories with children.
To encourage this there will be a different theme each day with suggestions of books, eBooks and eMagazines to read. Also, themed displays will take place in libraries across Northern Ireland and the BBC’s programming will link to Book Week NI across its air waves. More information on the themes is available on Libraries NI website here.
We hope you can all participate and help show that your child/children, as part of St Bride’s Primary school, enjoys reading and has enjoyed taking part in Book Week NI.
Get reading!
