A Special World Book Day Author Visit! 📚✨
As part of our World Book Day celebrations, we had a very exciting experience—meeting a real-life author! We were delighted to join our nursery friends in the hall to welcome David Vaughan, who shared his fantastic story all about footballer Henry Heal.
Bringing Stories to Life
Meeting an author in person was a brilliant way to inspire a love of reading and storytelling. The children were completely engaged as they listened to David Vaughan bring his book to life, following the journey of Henry Heal. They practised their listening and attention skills, showing great curiosity and enthusiasm as they absorbed every detail of the story.
After the reading, we encouraged the children to talk about what they had heard, recalling key parts of the story and discussing their favourite moments. Retelling and remembering stories in this way helps develop early comprehension and communication skills, as well as building confidence in speaking and sharing ideas.
What Can You Remember? ðŸ’
We would love to hear what the children remember about the story! Can they recall any details about Henry Heal? What was their favourite part? These conversations help reinforce their understanding and enjoyment of books.
A Memorable Celebration of Reading!
World Book Day is always a special occasion, and meeting an author made it even more magical. We are so proud of how engaged and enthusiastic the children were—it was a wonderful way to celebrate the power of stories and encourage a lifelong love of reading.
