Text Extracts
Text Extracts
Here are some links for some extracts of books aimed at primary aged children. The texts are of varying difficulty. Some your child will be able to read independently, others lend themselves more to being shared, perhaps as a bedtime story.
If your child enjoys an extract, you may choose to purchase the book although you do not have to.
You could also encourage your child to complete various activities such as:
- Continue the story – write the next chapter
- Retell the extract from a different character’s point of view
- Write a book review of the extract
- Turn the extract into a comic strip
- Turn the extract into a play script
- Copy a short passage that they especially liked
