We may be stuck at home, but it’s great to see that many pupils are still reading.
Look at the Keep Reading at Home post to find out more about how you can access books to read or listen to online.
Congratulations to all the pupils who have been reading and quizzing so far this term
There are lots of ways you can keep reading wherever you are. Click here for some suggestions.
You can read and listen to books online via myON. Visit my myON post for more details. S1 and S2 pupils – don’t forget to do an Accelerated Reader book quiz when you finish reading 😉
You can join Aberdeen City Libraries and read books, magazines, newspapers and comics online and listen to audiobooks too. Find out more here.
Audible have a free service while school’s are closed. Listening to audio books can take a bit of getting used to. I like to listen to books while knitting, gardening or doing housework. Lots of people listen to audiobooks while they’re walking or exercising. Give it a go!
I know lots of pupils love to read comic books. Here are links to some sites where you can read comics for free:

For all S2-S6 pupils make sure to hand in your library books and school textbooks. There’s a collection box by the school office and another one outside the library. English teachers are also collecting books for return too.
