The Power of Reading
Reading is a really good way
that you can help your child’s
learning at home. Children who
read everyday, not only read well
and understand what they have
read, they can achieve and become
more confident in many other areas of the curriculum. Children who can read well are far more likely to achieve and do well later in life.
Families, please encourage your child to read home/school reading book each day and support this reading by commenting in their reading record..
Thank you for your continued support.
