Supporting Reading at Home and Use of Home School Diaries
Early reading is crucial for children, and developing speaking and listening skills is essential for their literacy journey. Reading at home involves various activities such as reading newspapers, picture books, and labels with your child, along with regular guided reading sessions at school. Parents are expected to engage in their child's reading journey by bringing book bags daily, asking questions to enhance comprehension, and providing feedback to the school. The school promises regular book changes, 1:1 reading sessions, and guided reading activities to support each child's reading progress.
