Reading15 minutes daily.

Please return reading records every Wednesday to let us see how your child is getting on and to let the children get new reading books. Make sure that the adult records a comment to say how the reading has gone. This does not need to be longer than the box provided.

Children will also take a school library book to read at home for pleasure. Please return these on Wednesday so that they can choose a new book on Thursday.
