The King's School Library Blog: 2006

Welcome to the King's School Library Message Board.

This is the blog spot for the King's School Library "Dads and Lads, Mums and Sons" Book project.
We’d like you and your son to read 10 books in the 2008-09 school year, and tell us about it!

SIMPLY...
1. Choose a book to read together. You could start with your son’s choice. Then follow with your choice. Then back again. The school library can support you by doing our best to find a second copy so that you don’t have to wait for one person to finish before the other one starts.
2. When a book is finished, like it or hate it, simply write a short review each from your own perspectives and send or e-mail it into the library. We'll publish it here.
At the end of the year we’ll award the prize to the best set of reviews.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIVE TOGETHER TO READ TOGETHER.

It doesn’t matter what you read, fiction or non-fiction. We would like to hear from you.

If you are interested in taking part please contact the Librarians, and we’ll put you in the picture.
Book suggestions for the mystified also available on request.

Dads and Lads, Mums and Sons

Reading Project

WIN an annual subscription to the magazine of your choice!

Wish you read more? Need a (very) good reason to stop working on the house/business/car/daily toil for a few hours a week? For those students and parents who'd like to make more of their reading and take the risk to share book experiences with each other we'd like to open a Book Group you don't have to go anywhere to join.

We'd like you and your son to read 10 books in 2007!

Simply.....

Choose a book to read together. Start with your son's choice and then follow with yours or vice versa. We'll do our best to get you the second copy so that you don't have to wait for one person to finish before the other one can start.
When the book is finished simply write a short review together but from your different perspectives and e-mail it to me at yvette.gunther@kings.lincs.sch.uk. Like it or hate it, try to make the review longer than fifty words. We'll publish the reviews on this blog as suggestions for other King's School readers. At the end of the year we'll award the prize to the best set of reviews.
