Reading
It is important that children read every day. Your child will receive a new reading book every Monday, unless they are a free reader, when they can change their book as they finish it. Reading with your child daily at home will ensure that they will be exposed to a wide range of words. This will help them build their own vocabulary and improve their understanding when they listen, which is vital. In addition to their reading book, the children will also visit the school library every week and will bring home a book of their choice.
