Because the 16 year-old has a 5-hour long vocal intensive every day this week, we are having a Reading Week.
Our books:
- Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank)
- The Wave (finishing on Thursday and then watching the German movie version)
- Born Free (for geography - about a lion in Africa)
- Hatchet (also for geography - about a boy whose plane crashes in the wilderness of northern Canada)
We have very much enjoyed The Wave to the point where we are going to read Animal Farm next.
Hatchet is also very good. We're listening to the audiobook version, which is a nice change. We've already listened to about a fourth of the book in two days, because we keep turning it on during lunch, etc. I'm going include more audiobooks in the future. It's a nice way to hone listening skills and it's nice not to hear my own voice.
13 year-old is really enjoying Born Free.
