Hi everyone!
Today, Friday 17th September, your child was sent home with a brand new reading record. Now you might be thinking, ‘Hang on! My child hasn’t used one since Y3!’. Although this might be the case, we’re excited for all the ways your child can engage with reading at home in these new Reading Records.
The new Reading Records offer the following benefits:
- it is a place for children to record the books/texts they’ve read and rate them out of five stars
- there are a range of activities your child will accomplish throughout the year based on what they’ve read (each week, details of this task will be on your homework letters)
- it gives children a chance to enhance their love of reading during our weekly Book Club sessions in school
- it gives children ownership and responsibility of their reading
- there are loads of exciting challenges to complete to become a Reading Challenge Champion
- it can be a place for parents to share with teachers the wonderful reading their child has been doing at home.
This week, the activity your child should complete based on their reading is…
Draw It
You can find more details about this in the activities section of the reading record.
Any questions, please ask!
Happy reading!
