After learning that this year's National Simultaneous Storytime was 'The Speedy Sloth' by Rebecca Young and Heath McKenzie, St Paul's Anglican Grammar School junior school students 'sped' to listen to the story simultaneously with children throughout Australia.
Afterwards, educators planned a session for year 10 students to read with the younger students, and they were delighted at the chance to spend some time reading to the younger children who were eager to be read to.
Imaginations were transported to exciting and spectacular worlds as various books were read and discussed in small groups with some of the younger children, teaching the older students a thing or two about the characters and storylines.
National Simultaneous Storytime is an annual event facilitated by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) where an Australian-authored book is read simultaneously in schools, kindergartens, libraries and many other locations all around Australia.
