Reading

Reading continues to be one of the most important skills for children to continually practise. Children are asked to read at least 3 times a week and have a grown up sign their reading record. Explore books by different authors and remember to read a range of styles of text e.g. fiction, non-fiction, poetry. To promote reading for pleasure in school, we encourage book talk through daily story time as well as allowing the children to share picture and poetry books every week.

Below are a number of websites that support children’s reading development by offering free e-books and audiobooks. If possible, make time to join your local library so your child can explore all of the wonderful books they have to offer!
