In each class I will begin with a short introduction about the book of the week, the author, the characters, the plot, and what I like about it.
Then we will read some extracts from the book, or the whole book if it is short.
The books are for young children, up to the age of nine or ten and will be short enough for students to read during the week if they wish to do so.
Then we will have a break for refreshments (bring your own).
The second hour will be for more general conversation and chatter in English!
