Reading:

-Our assessments will inform us of which book to give to your child so that it is matched to their level of fluency and comprehension.

-We love to see children reading at home as this has a massive impact on their progress and confidence. If any reading is completed, please write a quick note in the yellow log to show us which page they are on next or whether they have finished the book.

-Children are responsible for putting a finished reading book in our 'Please Change Me' box in our classrooms.

Home Learning:

-Home learning is to be handed into the box on a Thursday so that we can have a look and send books home on Fridays.

-Home learning is celebrated through children being asked to share with the class, stickers, comments and even house points!
