Reading
- Your child has received their home-reading book which will be read at least once a week with an adult in school and should also be read frequently at home.
- We will be assessing your child’s reading regularly and moving their reading stages accordingly. This will be based on your child’s fluency and their ability to answer comprehension questions on the text they are reading.
- The children will practise their reading skills within school in both their phonics lessons and whole class guided reading.
