Homework

Reading

Reading books will be sent home daily. There will be a reading book that is matched to their phonics reading level and a ‘bedtime book’ which they choose independently and could be read to them by an adult if needed. It is important that you read every day with your child and record their reading in your child’s reading diary. Your child will need to bring their books and diaries to school every day.
