Reading
In Class 1, we thoroughly enjoy reading multiple times a day! This can be individually, in small groups or as a whole class. Children are encouraged to read aloud and use their phonics knowledge to help them with unfamiliar words.
It is vital that children continue with their reading at home with an adult. Children will be provided with a phonics book each week, which will be aligned with our class teaching. We ask that this is read four times throughout the week with an adult. This will help to develop the children's fluency.
Each week, children will also be able to choose a library book from our school library. This book is promote children listening to stories; it can be read to the child by an adult and enjoyed at bedtimes for example.
