After another busy week, today your child will be sent home with their very first reading book. In your child’s book bag you will find a zip wallet with a reading book and a Reading Record.

The reading book at the moment is just a picture book. We encourage children to start off with the picture books because it gets them used to handling books properly and they also can learn and understand that the pictures tell stories.

On the front page of the Reading Record it explains that it is expected that parents will read with their children at least 3 times a week and this will need to be recorded in the Reading Record. Bedtime stories can also count towards the 3 entries a week.

Please send your child’s reading book and reading Record in daily, as we will also be reading with the children in school.

Reading books will be changed every Friday  and the signatures will also be counted on a Friday.
