Reading
Whether your child is of Early Entitlement age or is in Year 6, reading is a vital part of Home Learning. Materials which can be used to support reading at home include story books, comics, magazines, newspapers, recipe books, books about nature and wildlife, takeaway menus, leaflets that may come through your letterbox...the list is endless! The Encyclopaedia Britannica is available to all children on Hwb and the Book Trust also have a range of free resources online.
These suggestions are in addition to any reading books that your child may have brought home with them from school, including sharing books. Reading as often as possible will ensure that your child continues to use the important skills and strategies already acquired, wherever they may be on their reading journey.
