7. How will my child’s reading be developed ?
At home
Listening to my child read their home reader and asking them questions about what they have read and talking about the book.
Reading stories to my child that they could not read to themselves but will enjoy listening to( Most Y2 children love Harry Potter but very few could read it independently) Share the books you loved with them!
Reading REAL books – join the library. Barton has a fabulous library with really helpful staff.
Make reading part of every day life- it’s not just about reading the scheme books from school. They will learn just as much by reading their favourite magazines, their match attax collection, the menu in the restaurant or take away or even the TV guide.
