The Bukies Reading Box
A box of stories. A classroom of readers.
The Bukies Reading Box is a classroom-based literacy initiative designed to give children regular access to age-appropriate books while encouraging reading, vocabulary development, comprehension and discussion.
Each box contains a carefully selected collection of children’s books and simple reading resources. During the six-week reading experience, books circulate among the children, giving every child an opportunity to discover, read and respond to a story.
At the end of the six weeks, the Reading Box remains with the school as a lasting classroom resource, allowing the reading journey to continue beyond the initial programme.
