=** Welcome to the Year 8 wide reading programme! **=

Here we will share our favourite books, post reviews of newly discovered books and develop our literacy and ICT skills.

One English lesson each fortnight will be conducted in the library. In this lesson you will explore a new genre, be introduced to the latest fiction, relax on our comfy couches to do sustained, silent reading, and have the opportunity to borrow. You will be required to complete one homework activity each fortnight, which will be posted on this wiki, but if you want to make more frequent posts please do so.
