Reading at Home
Well done to our Prep to Year 2's who have started this term reading at home using our new reading scheme!
Each week they get to practise reading:
- 2 decodable books (green dot) to encourage DECODING, READING FLUENCY AND EXPRESSION
- 2 predictable books (red dot) to encourage BUILDING THEIR VOCABULARY, BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION
Have a look at the ways below to encourage your child when they're reading!
7 BENEFITS OF REGULAR READING
Reading plays a powerful role in a child’s development, at every age and stage. When books become part of daily life, children grow into curious, confident learners – ready to explore, express, and understand the world around them.
Here are some powerful benefits for REGULAR READING:
- Builds early language skills
- Supports brain development
- Strengthens parent/child bond
- Encourages focus and listening
- Fuels imagination and creativity
- Boosts emotional understanding
- Sets the foundation for academic success
Encourage your child to enjoy the magic or reading!
