HOME READING IN THE EARLY YEARS
As our focus is on developing our children’s oral fluency as well as their comprehension, your child will be bringing home two books each week. One will be a decodable phonics book that will be at the appropriate level for your child to read successfully. The other will be a picture book, similar to a library book, for you to read with your child – this will often have a set of comprehension questions to accompany it. We hope that by alternating these books across the week, our student’s will develop their reading fluency as well as their understanding in a relaxed, enjoyable way.
Classroom teachers will also run guided reading sessions to develop the comprehension skills students’ will need to achieve the most from their reading.
Watching your child become a confident reader and sharing the journey with them is a wonderful experience. A large part of our everyday life depends on reading. Helping your child to read will open their minds to a whole range of topics. There are many ways you can help your child build their confidence and develop strong reading skills every day. One of the easiest and most valuable things you can do at home is to read to your child and show them how much fun you can have when you read. Discover simple ways to encourage your child’s reading.
