Reading

This term most reading activities will take place in school. Some reading will be set as homework. If your child does not have specific reading homework please encourage them to read for a minimum of 20 minutes each night and try to include a variety of different texts including newspapers and non-fiction. This can be done through traditional sources or digital media. Towards the end of this term pupils will be asked to select one of the books they have read and prepare a book report. They will also be asked to keep a log of the books they have read.
