CMIS Evaluation

• Indigenous Literacy Day and
• National Reading Day

Schools and libraries are important organisations that provide support for our students to participate in all of these events and achieve positive literacy outcomes.  If you still have some energy after Book Week, they are both worthy of the attention of your students.

And – if you have some time after all that – September 8 is:

• International Literacy Day

For resources to support any of your literacy projects, visit our CMIS website to subscribe to our Blogs and CMIS Resource Bank.

Library and Information Week (19 – 25 May) is a great time for your school to participate in the National Simultaneous Storytime. This year NSS is on May 21.  The book EVERYONE will be reading is Arthur by Amanda Graham & illustrated by Donna Gynell. Published by Era Publications. 
Although the original was published quite a few years ago – there’s bound to be a copy in your library. 
However in the event you can’t get a copy there’s a  list of great doggy books and other inspirations on the ALIA NSS 2008 website

Activites for schools are available from the website and there is  a special publisher’s website which will be available from May 14 – 21 and contains extra items for use during the event.

Your school will need to register at this link:-http://www.alia.org.au/advocacy/storytime/2008/form.2008.html - register by May 12th to be in the running for some great prizes.
