Today in English for sustained silent reading, I chose to read an article from stuff about a 1 year old baby being flown to hospital in the Bay of Plenty after falling out a car window, the car was stationary at the time and the baby has suffered head injuries. The authors purpose was to inform the reader, the target audience is more adults.

It is fantastic how you keep up to date with what is going on in the world. The incident about the baby sounds so horrific and I do hope the baby doesn't die. Remember your readers are keen to know more so a few more details would be helpful. I look forward to following your reading blog.
