We ask parents to hear their child read and check their understanding of what they have read. This information should be recorded in the child’s reading diary.  Children may change their home readers as soon as they have finished them. We will encourage children to write a short review of the book they have just read.  They will be reading their Guided books at a more challenging level in school with the class teacher so the home readers are there for them to practise and enjoy.  Extra support or extension work will be given to children within school, as appropriate to their current learning needs.
