7. Why is reading so important?
Reading helps children in all areas, promoting it and making it an enjoyable experience will ensure your child develops a love for reading.
We want every child to become an independent reader, who choose and want to read for their own purposes and enjoyment.
Children need plenty of attention, support and practice with reading. Both at home, and at school there should be opportunities for:
Reading with children
Reading to children
Children reading aloud
Children reading independently.

8. Supporting your child with writing
Try to encourage your child to use a range of vocabulary.
Make sure children are using their best writing on their homework.
