National Simultaneous Storytime is an important annual campaign that encourages young children to read and enjoy books. Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops, and many other places around Australia, New Zealand, and the world at 11 am. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Del Monte we conducted our Simultaneous Storytime after recess at 11:30 am. The story was read in each class from prep to Year 2 (Years 3 and 4 were at the Writers Festival) followed by the students completing activities related to the book. Some classes had a guest reader!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
