IMPORTANT - YOUR CHILD SHOULD HAVE THEIR READING BOOK AND READING DIARY IN SCHOOL EVERY DAY!

Reading: all children will bring an appropriate reading book home linked to their phonic knowledge. Reading record books should be filled in daily so that you can share comments on progress and enjoyment with school staff. The staff will choose books for the children linking exactly to their learning. Once settled into school, children will also be sent home weekly phonics (sounds to learn) and high frequency words to read by sight.

Daily Reading books (linked to phonics assessments) will be changed once a week. Children have access to other books and can change these when they want to. Weekly mental Maths (NUMBOTS can be used). Weekly phonics or spellings (Common Exception Words and taught spelling rules) in English.
