ReadingWe encourage the children to read a little each night in order to maximise on them applying what they have learnt in phonics. Support your child by encouraging them to blend unfamiliar words and read words they recognise fluently. Also develop their comprehension skills by asking them questions about the text, having them retrieve information from the book and retelling stories. From next week children who have four daily reading acknowledgements in their diary from their adult will enter the weekly reading prize draw.
