We love reading because...

I love reading because you can travel to other worlds from 3000 years ago to the future, you can let yourself go in another place not your own. (Emily, Room 7 Year 8)

I love reading because it can let me into any story, is unpredictable and gives me excitement. It can switch me off to the world around me and tell me almost everything I need to know. ( Jahna, Room 7 Year 7 )

I love reading because you get to travel to other worlds and still be sitting in your own living room. You can understand what the author is thinking and you can use reading in your daily life. (Kachina, Room 7 Year 8)

I love reading because it helps me extend my knowledge about things. It also helps me find out what time the bus goes. (Libby, Room 7 Year 8)

I love reading because it captivates you into other people's worlds and you can live like them in your imagination, I also love reading because you can find out so much about anything you choose and can learn amazing things about the past, today and the future. (Mollie, Room 7 Year 7)

I love reading because it opens up my mind, and helps me get through daily life such as, following directions, reading bus routes, and of course the pleasure of reading other people's point of view. (Morgan, Room 7 Year 8)

  1. I love to read because I can imagine myself in the story. I also like that I get to decide what everybody looks like, not a casting director!

  2. I love reading because I can sit in my hammock in the sun and transport myself to a different place!

  3. I love reading because I can see the world in a new way, through an author's eyes.

  4. I love to read because I can escape for a little while (depending on how long I can read for). I love learning new things and without reading at night time, I can't go to sleep because my brain hasn't slowed down!

  5. I love reading because I get caught up in the story and can't put my book down until I have finished.
