Reading - Reading at home is very important to your child's reading development. Please try to listen to your child read everyday for around 5/10 minutes. Please write a short comment every time you hear your child read in the blue reading record book. Your child will read to an adult once a week at least on their set reading day. Their books will also be changed on this day.
