Six Habits That Help Children Develop a Love of Reading

20 Aug 2026

reading-final

Book Week is a celebration of stories, imagination and creativity, but helping children love reading isn't just something that happens during one week of the year. The good news? It doesn't take expensive resources or hours of extra time. Often, it's the small, recurring habits that make the biggest difference.

1. Let them see you read
 Children are more likely to value reading when they see the adults around them enjoying it too. Whether it's a novel, magazine, recipe or newspaper, showing that reading is part of everyday life helps build positive attitudes towards books.

2. Read together, even after they've learnt to read
 Many parents stop reading aloud once their child becomes an independent reader, but shared reading continues to support vocabulary, comprehension and a love of storytelling well into the primary years. It also creates moments to connect and talk about ideas.

3. Give children the freedom to choose
 Not every child will be drawn to classic novels, and that's okay! Graphic novels, comics, fact books and magazines all count. When children can explore topics they're genuinely interested in, reading becomes something they want to do rather than something they have to do.

4. Make reading part of everyday life
 Ten or fifteen minutes before bed or reading together after school helps establish reading as a regular habit. Consistency matters more than long sessions.

5. Talk about stories
 Asking simple questions like "What surprised you?" or "Who was your favourite character?" encourages children to think more deeply about what they've read. These conversations also help develop confidence and comprehension.

6. Celebrate curiosity, not perfection
 Children don't need to finish every book they start or read at the same level as their peers. The goal is to nurture confidence and enjoyment. When reading feels positive, children are more likely to keep coming back to it.

๐Ÿ’™ Happy Fatherโ€™s Day! ๐Ÿ’™ Today we celebrate and give thanks for all the special men who have loved, guided and supported us - fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, father-like figures and carers. Your love, strength, wisdom and care make a lasting difference in the lives of our children and families. ๐Ÿ’™ We also remember with love those fathers and father figures who are no longer with us. May their love and memories continue to live on in the hearts of those they have left behind. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ On this special day, we look to St Joseph, the foster father of Jesus and a wonderful example of faithful, selfless and loving fatherhood. May St Joseph continue to guide and bless all fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, carers and father figures as they nurture and care for those entrusted to them. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’™ Happy Fatherโ€™s Day to all the wonderful father figures in our community! ๐ŸŒŸ

Our Year 2 students have been putting their mathematical thinking and creativity to work as they used 2D shapes and 3D objects to design and create their very own cityscapes! Students explored how different shapes and objects can be combined to represent buildings, roads and other features of a city. They carefully planned their designs, identified the shapes and 3D objects they used, and brought their ideas to life through creativity and construction. It was wonderful to see students applying their mathematical knowledge in such a fun and hands-on way while proudly creating their own unique cityscapes!
