Why we love reading at West Earlham Junior School

When I read, I feel like the world is mine. I read because it makes me feel happy and sometimes sad, but in a nice way. A book is like jumping into a completely different world or having a day at the park with your family. I like to read at night, at school, after school or even on holiday.
Chloe

I love reading because nothing can distract me and it builds up my memories. Reading can calm me down and make me feel relaxed. I love any books, especially ones about magic cats.

I like reading because I have lots of fun. Reading inspires me. I always get my head stuck in a book.

Reading makes me happy. I like books about motorbikes and I like scary books.
Toby

When I read, I'm in my own world. Sometimes I feel relieved at the end of a book, sometimes I feel sad. I read in my room so nobody can disturb me. It's nice not to have anyone moan at me. When I get a new book, I just feel so lucky to have books.
Tamzin

I love reading in a cold bath because reading warms me up. Reading makes me feel strange, sometimes it makes me hungry. Reading makes me feel happy and sad.
Rod

I read every day, even when I'm really busy. I read wherever I am. I love reading, it makes me feel really excited.
Gemma

When I read, I learn how to look after people. I love reading because I like to be inside the book and solve problems. I am always curious when I read because you just don't know what will happen. Reading is fun, so I read lots.
Jaya

When I read, I am the main character in the story. Sometimes I read too much and I am tired in the morning. I love meeting new characters in stories. When I close my eyes and read, it makes the story a hundred times more exciting.
Megan

Reading makes me feel alive. Reading at night is my favourite because it feels so real. I just love getting new books.
Kristopher

Fiction books are so joyful to read. I like non-fiction books too because they tell you different facts about animals and ships. Also, whenever I read a book it gives me ideas. I love reading at home because I can read as long as I want. It makes me happy and smart. Reading gives me a good attitude.
Kayley

I like reading because I like adventures. Books can make you sad and joyful.
Oskaras

I read under my covers at night with my torch. I get so excited when it's a new book. I love reading because, well, I love it. I can get angry, happy or sad when I read. I have learned lots of new words. My favourite one is 'assignment'.

When I read sad books, I have mostly sad emotions. I read books at school or at home in my bedroom. I like to read scary books and exciting books. When I get a new book, I just think WOW!

Reading is just magical. My favourite part of a book is usually the middle. I love reading because when I read I feel awesome. I read in my bedroom and I am happy. I put effort in my reading.

Molly

A book makes me feel very relaxed and quite clever. I love books because they get my imagination going and make me want to be creative. I love to be in another world and place. When I read stories with no words in, I always try and think about what the author wanted to write.
Jersie

Sometimes when I read, I feel like I am in a completely different place and like I'm meeting the characters in real life. I love to read under my duvet  with a torch, even more if it's a scary book. What I heard about reading is that if you read you get intelligent. If you want to be a teacher when you are older, you must teach that to the children.

I love reading. It's a time when you can settle down and read a book. I normally like to read with the light on.

If you don't like reading, then you should. It is a fun thing to do and you can go on an adventure.

I like reading everywhere. It makes you really peaceful, no one can disturb you and you can have an adventure. If you read information books, then you will know more. I like books that are scary.

A book is something special, amazing, fantastic, incredible. I like reading anywhere. I will never stop reading. I like reading battle books and adventure books, I like a book with good characters.
