Reading and home learning expectations
Children will have a book in school which is closely linked to their phonics group and will read with an adult in school as often as possible. Each child has a set day to read and change their book but still bring it in every day!!
Your child’s progress in reading will be helped hugely by reading at home. This will form part of their homework, reading at least 5 minutes each night with an adult is the goal!
Children are more than welcome to read anything they would like to at home.
Please read at least 3 times a week.and sign your child's diary! If you don't sign their diary, they don't get their stickers. They love getting the stickers and then their certificates!
