Autumn Term 2024

Reading:

Individual reading books will be changed once a week (the day may vary from time to time) and the children will receive support when changing their own reading book during the book change session.

We are looking to introduce eBooks to support the Shared Reading sessions that take place in school this year. These books will be a digital copy of the book your child is reading with the teachers and will be changed each week to allow you to read the same book at home with your child. More information on this will follow once the system is up and running. Once this is inplace we will go to 1 paper book and 1 eBook per week. Until then, 2 books will be sent home in your child's bookbag.

Can we ask that individual books sent home are read more than once. This encourages fluency and pace which is an integral part of the reading process, also please ask your child questions about what they have read to support their comprehension skills. 

Please record in your child's planner when you have read with your child.

More information on this will follow in due course. A parent information meeting will be held in the Autumn term to help you to support your child with this area at home.

Children can bring in any projects as they do them, or collect them together ready for the hand-in date when we will share all the amazing work your child has done at home.

'Favourite Reads' Book

Look out for the ‘Class 1’s favourite reads’book.

Each week we will choose a new child to take the book home and add their favourite story to the collection. This will act like a recommendation to others in the class, so make sure you enjoy reading back what other children have added to the book before you.

It will come home on a THURSDAY and needs returning by WEDNESDAY so that we can share it and pass it on.

Have a lovely Autumn with you children,

Mrs Morris & Mrs Moloney.
