Silver Key by NJ Cameron Kevin is reading 'The silver key' to the children and developing thinking about our reading with the children. The children will develop a reading log about their thoughts and wonderings. I have already read this book but I still love listening to it. It’s always good to read a book again. My favourite part of the book so far is when Max finds the key. I wonder what will happen next. Maddy. I wonder what they will find at the farm. Kiarna I think the book is interesting because I wonder what it opens. Filip
