Children will have the opportunity to change their reading every other day or when they need to. Please make sure you sign the diary if you have heard your child read at home. Children will be responsible for their own recording.
Children will be encouraged to read at their own level & pace.
Please don’t feel that your child has to read a whole book in one night. Little and often has proven to be effective.
Continue to use the reading strategies from Year 2.
Remember – your child doesn’t always have to read to you, sharing library books that you read is good practice too!
