Reading
All children have been given a plastic wallet containing their Reading Record and Phonics Reading Book. Please read the book at least 4 times per week at home. Please use 1 page of your Reading Record per week to record your child's reading.
Children also choose a book from the Library Bus to share at home. This does not need to be recorded in their Reading Record. Library Bus Books will be changed on a Monday. Please re-read and talk about a book more than once as the repetition of language and familiarisation of stories and characters helps support their understanding and enjoyment of books.
When reading a phonics books with your child, please gauge how much you wish them to read dependent on how they are feeling. This could 2-3 pages to the whole book, it can vary each time. We want to help support you in giving your child positive reading experiences as much as possible.
