'I like looking at how much I am reading every day, every month. I realise why I am becoming such a good reader, because I am practising so much. Looking back over each month I remember all the characters I have met, all the places I have been to in my imagination, the things I have learned and I see the range of books I have read and how many books I have finished.'  Ocean Yr 5
