In S1 – S3, the most important homework that you can do is personal reading. Reading helps you to develop so many skills in English. For example, it will develop your vocabulary and understanding of writers’ craft which helps to improve your own writing skills. Not only that, but there is a lot of evidence that reading helps to improve your concentration and helps people to de-stress and relax.
Remember, you should be aiming to read every single night to really feel the benefit of personal reading.
You can download a copy of our reading booklets here: Books and Beyond so that you can practise the discussion questions ahead of your library lesson or complete one of the tasks.
