Reading
We continue to combine individual reading with guided reads. Please keep up with daily reading at home and record each time your child reads by making a short dated comment in the yellow reading log and ticking off your child’s book mark. Reading diaries are being checked for engagement at home and we will reach out if your child needs further support with out of school reading practice.
