Reading

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. Please record this reading in your child's 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. Library books do not need to be recorded in their reading records.
