Things to remember
Reading – Children make fantastic progress with their reading when they read regularly. At Limbrick Wood we ask all children to read for 10 minutes each evening with a family member to practise their fluency and comprehension skills. This is still important in Year 5 when many children become independent readers as it allows them to gain a deeper understanding of vocabulary and the comprehension of a text.
Library - Children will visit the school library each week, children can only choose a new book if they return their last book.
