Reading	

13	Read what the children say about stories. How many of the tasks below can you do?	

Kids talk about reading
I love books. I read at home, at school and even in the park. I usually read a lot of horror stories but I also like stories about friendship. I don’t like really big books because they take a long time to read. My favourite book at the moment is The Fault in Our Stars. My sister gave it to me for my birthday and I read it twice. I also watched the film, but the book is better!
Georgina, 15

I don’t really have a favourite book. I read different kinds of stories. My dad buys us a lot of books to read and I go to the library a lot. They have thousands of books, but I usually choose animal and adventure stories. I like exciting books that aren’t boring.
Martin, 12

I didn’t read a lot when I was young, but I do now. I really love reading because I get to learn lots. Last week, I read a great fantasy story about a group of people looking for a lost city. I love detective stories because I like to play detectives with my friends, but I hate poems. I think they’re boring.
Scott, 14

My favourite book is called The Little Prince. It’s a really good book about a little boy. He meets lots of interesting people. My mum read it to me at home and then we read it in class with our teacher. I enjoy reading comic books like the Batman series. I also like writing stories. They’re not very good, but I hope that when I’m older I can be an author* and write books for children.
