7. READING AT HOME
We ask that children have the opportunity to read at least 5 times a week to an adult.
Making sure your child understands the book is as equally important as them being able to read it.
Ask 5 questions
You read a section of the book and your child has to ask you questions
Please sign your child's reading record every time you hear them read.

20. L.P.P.A. Principles Leading Parent Partnership Award
Quality award ‘for schools committed to investing in parents for the achievement of children’
Not a ‘quick fix’ approach-designed to enable schools to achieve long term sustainable parent partnership
Requires the engagement of five sets of key partners; school staff, pupils/students, parents, governors, external partners
‘Parents’ includes carers, step-parents, grandparents and other significant adults
Research indicates that it is what parents do at home to support their children’s learning that is critical. The heart of the LPPA is about facilitating this.
