Home Reading 

Teachers periodically assess the reading levels of students.

All our home readers have been graded so that your child can read the book successfully with little or no help.

Could you please ensure that each book is read to you, sign the card or home reading log and return the book to school.

You can help your child with reading by:

-taking an interest in what they read

-encouraging them to predict the story from the pictures

-asking them to re-read sentences when they are struggling or losing meaning

-asking them to sound out or guess an unknown word before you tell them

-reading to your child frequently

-giving them many opportunities to read themselves

-praising their reading successes

-allow your child to see you reading

-frequently read stories to your child for pleasure

The best way to learn to read is to practise frequently
