How to support your child’s Reading.

What support can parents and carers offer with English this
year?
The children will continue to need regular (daily) practice with their
spellings and reading skills. We place a very high value on reading.
Even confident readers should be involved in reading practice; often
children have mastered the art of reading but still need support with
the understanding of a book. Children also gain much from talking
about their reading. Please sign their reading record every time
they read. Any help from parents willing to support children’s
reading in class is always welcome.
