SimSpeaks

This month’s episode is all about b o o k s. That means Faye and Annie talk about books, literature, reading, the library... Oh, and also stories.
As always, they present the school news, guess a question and pick a word of the month. In between, they put the ~*spotlight*~ on lots of students who wanted to talk about wonderful books or tell (or even sing) us unusual stories. Annie also interviews school librarian and teacher Katja Kohl to talk about the library, reading and much more.
