Reading

Reading 

We read with your child at least everyday whether this is individually or in a group. We ask that you do the same! Please read with your child every night.  Don’t forget to sign and date your child’s reading record each time you listen to your child read. This allows us to select the ‘Reading Rocket’ and allocate Dojo points. Books will be changed every Thursday.
