Reading

Reading is far and away the most important thing to practice. It is a vital skill that supports children's learning and understanding in all areas. Please take the time to read to or with your child every day and talk to them about the books they read.

Home Reading Books

Children will be given new home reading books every week. These books should be kept at home until the following week, when they can be changed. Children can also borrow books from the class book corner to enjoy at home.

BugClub

 In addition to books, we also use the Bug Club website. This has a wide range of books targeted at specific phonic phases and reading abilities. Children should read at least one BugClub book each week, carefully answering the questions as they go along. 

Purple Mash

In Purple Mash, you will find the Serial Mash option. This has a large selection of stories arranged in age groups.

Each story also has lots of activities to go with it.
