It is extremely important that children are still encouraged to read at home.  

Please listen to your child read at least once a week and leave a comment in his/her reading record. 

All children are encouraged to read daily, for at least 15-20minutes. 

Your child will come home with two books weekly: a banded book (Accelerated Reader book for KS2 and a Phonics book for KS1) as well as a book for pleasure.  

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.
