We encourage parents, siblings and close relatives to read with children. Pupils know that they are expected to read at home as often as they can. All pupils take a ‘Book Bag’ containing books and a reading diary to and from school each day. There will be a levelled book, a phonically decodable book – closely matched to the letter shapes and associated sounds children are learning in class and perhaps word lists and/or phoneme sheets.
Teachers will make comments in the reading diaries prompting parents about how to help their children.
