WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO READ AND WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK?

Bethany: Adventurous books, because they have a lot of detail in them. I don't remember the author, but my favourite book is called Shadow Forest.

Rebekah: Everything from the library. I have a Booktrack Award and I go to the library every week. I pick two books from the library and read them to someone and then I get to choose another two books.

Lucia: Adventure stories because I just like them. My favourite books are the Redwall series.

Rhiannon: Adventure stories. My favourite book is Invisible City.

Sarah: I like to read The Naughtiest Girl in the School. It's my favourite book ever.

Cullen: I like to read James Bond books and Jiggy McCue because you don't know what's going to happen next, so it's really good. My favourite book is a football book called Match.

Jed: I like agent books, or spy books, because they're exciting and my favourite author is Anthony Horowitz.

APART FROM BOOKS, WHAT ELSE CAN YOU READ?

Bethany: I can read magazines, newspapers and Sudoku.

Rebekah: Bethany brings in a magazine and we read it together and I read computers. I don't like the things in newspapers about people getting killed and stuff.

Lucia: Magazines, computers, newspapers and things like that.

Rhiannon: I like reading some magazines.

Sarah: Letters, emails, shopping things.

Cullen: Shopping lists, newspapers, letters, texts from phones, the white board, people's number plates.

Jed: Letters, data bases, posters, work, lines, lunch boxes.

WHEN DO YOU READ?

Bethany: When I get the chance.

Rebekah: Every chance I can get.

Lucia: As much as I can — it's my hobby.

Rhiannon: I read every night before I go to bed and I read in school.

Sarah: I read in the evenings sometimes and sometimes early in the morning.

Cullen: I read every night.

Jed: I read every night and every morning.

WHERE DO YOU LIKE TO READ?

Bethany: In my bed or in the car.

Rebekah: Anywhere. On the coach. I always bring a book with me.

Rhiannon: In my bedroom because it's just me, so there are no loud noises.

Lucia: In my bedroom, on the balcony.

Sarah: Probably my bed, sometimes the sofa.

Cullen: I like reading in bed because it's a comfortable place to read.

Jed: I like reading in bed at night-time.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO READ?

Bethany: Because we learn a lot and it gives you a lot more imagination as well.

Rebekah: You can read if you're lonely, because it's like you've got a friend. And if you're older and you still can't read, how will you know where you're going in the car because of the signposts? You could be going to Sidmouth when you want to go to Exeter. And it's also fun and you can talk about it to your friends.

Lucia: If you're bored, you can just get out your book.

Rhiannon: It helps you in later life and you can get a job.

Sarah: Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to learn things. Your education depends on it.

Cullen: Because it makes you learn more stuff. With the football book, it tells you more about football and reading tells you more stories.

Jed: It's good experience because when you're older, you're more likely to get more jobs. Then, say you don't make it as a footballer, you can do something else.
