Reading
All pupils are encouraged to read for 20 minutes every day. Please complete reading logs in homework diaries to help us monitor and track reading progress. Remember, pupils can also update their homework diary. It is helpful to make note of any tricky words or challenging areas when reading at home.
As pupils progress through their reading levels, they will be provided a reading passport to support them in reading a range of texts. The book chosen for their reading passport is their school reading book.
If a pupil is struggling to read their book do let us know and we can work with them to find a more appropriate reading book.
You will find an exciting list of recommended reading books for Years 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the documents below.
