Reading diaries

Please feel free to communicate via the Reading Diary.  Your comments are valuable.

Books are chosen by the children to be shared with you at home for pleasure.  Your child also reads graded group reading books in class during Guided Reading sessions.

NB:
Mrs. Carr’s class will now change reading books on a weekly basis (Please refer to Reading Record Book to see which day your child changes their book).  Please let us know if you require extra books sending home.  Don’t forget to use other reading materials from home (e.g. magazines, the Internet or other books).
