Once your child has completed a book, they are to complete a reading review and have it checked by Mrs Lama. Once this has been checked, they will choose a new reading book. All children will read as part of a group in our weekly guided reading sessions. Mrs Lama will hear those children who have a lower reading age than their chronological age on a regular basis. There will be time for independent reading either during registration or after lunch on a daily basis. Children should be reading for at least 10 minutes per day at home.
