It is extremely important that children are still encouraged to read at home. If your child is off school please encourage them to read every day.
Here are some websites where your child will be able to find books they can read online at home or listen to books being read to them.
Oak National Academy Virtual Library This website has an author of the week and each week there is a book to read for free.
