Online Storytime 9 July: My Country
My Country by Ezekiel Kwaymullina & Sally Morgan
As part of Online Storytime this week, we will be celebrating NAIDOC Week by reading My Country. This story celebrates a child’s connection and sense of belonging to Country. It takes readers on a journey through the land, sky and sea, exploring the beauty of the natural world from the morning star to the red desert, to whispering winds and colourful rainbows.
How can My Country support your child’s learning
• Simple text, making it easier for children of different language levels to follow.
• The rhythmic text can help children stay more engaged and encouraged to join in.
• Children may relate to the experiences of the child in the story, helping them make personal connections.
• The illustrations provide many opportunities to point and comment on what you see which helps bring meaning to the story.
• The book introduces children to a variety of verbs and descriptive language, supporting vocabulary development.
• Reading this book together can create opportunities for families to talk about Country, nature and belonging.
