How To Read With Your Child

Daily reading is an essential to aid your child's development in all curriculum areas.
Evidence suggests that children who read for enjoyment every day not only perform better in reading tests than those who don’t, but also develop a broader vocabulary, increased general knowledge and a better understanding of other cultures.

Reading for pleasure is more likely to determine whether a child does well at school than their social or economic background.

What difference can YOU make as a parent?
You can make a huge difference! Parents are the most important educators in a child’s life – even more important than their teachers – and it’s never too early or too late to start reading together.

Reading in Year 2:                                                   

Children will bring home a Guided Reading book and a shared book everyday day. Children should read their Guided Reading book to an adult and share their shared book with an adult whereby both you  and your chid read this bool collectively. 

The reading record should be filled in every time you read with your child and is a extremely important form of contact between you and your child's teacher. 

All three books- Guided Reading book, shared book and the reading record should be brought into school EVERYDAY

Please ensure your read with your child daily- this  can be in the form of a book, age appropriate newspaper article, magazine, leaflet, recipe instructions ect. The more variety, the better- reading is not just about picking up a book.
