Rivers of Reading

Categories: Activities. Tags: bilteracy and literacy. Topics: Art & Design, Computing, English and Literacy.

This activity is particularly suitable for World Book Day, although it can be run at any time of the year. The Rivers of Reading methodology invites children to create a collage-like piece of work which links their reading experiences to critical incidents in their lives. It lends itself very well to home learning.
