Teachers’ Notes One of the best ways to get students to read more often is to make connections with what happens in their everyday lives. If reading literature relates to children at a very personal level, they are more likely to embrace it. In this book are some examples of situations that children might encounter in their daily lives. These include such things as having to read discount vouchers, the TV guide and a movie ticket - all of which have immediate relevance and are of high interest to children. To get the most of out of each lesson:

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

1. Initially, go over the real-life reading samples orally with the children. Ask them questions that draw upon their personal experiences. 2. Photocopy the question sheets and distribute. Answers can be written on the sheet or in their reading pads.

Teac he r

ew i ev Pr

3. Always mark work as soon as possible. Children are motivated most during this time and you can take advantage of their high interest.

4. It’s recommended you back up every real-life reading lesson by asking children to bring in real samples of the literature examined. Perhaps create a ‘Real-Life Reading Wall’ and encourage children to bring in sample items and post them on the board. This is a guaranteed way that children will read.

Rugby Union Scorecard 1 This is the scorecard for a rugby union match played between Australia and New Zealand (All Blacks). Rugby union is a popular game in these two countries and each year they compete with each other for the Bledisloe Cup. Rugby is different from many other sports because it is against the rules to throw the ball forward. To score points for your team you can either run the ball over the line at your opponents end of the ground or kick the ball over a cross bar. Australia and New Zealand are among the best teams in the world.
