Reading Your child will learn reading skills during Guided reading sessions in class. To encourage the children to read for pleasure we are celebrating reading each week in a ‘Reading Rocks’ assembly and once a month will take part in buddy reading. These are skills which will then be practiced at home. We want children to enjoy reading and sharing books with you!
