It is incredibly important that the children are reading every day and unfortunately they are currently unable to take home reading books from school. The Oxford Owl website (as mentioned below) is an excellent resource where you can access lots of free colour banded e-books which will match your child's current reading level and will be similar to many of the reading books that they would normally bring home from school. Please do make sure to use this resource.
