Reading

In Year 1 we will continue to develop your child’s reading skills.  Your child will have a daily Read, Write Inc lesson based in small, adult led groups where they will take part in various activities to to further develop their reading skills.  They will be heard reading individually during the week and your child’s reading book will be changed regularly. Please support us in developing your child’s reading skills by listening to them read every night and modelling reading to them to develop their reading for pleasure.  Could we please ask that you write a little comment in their reading record so that we know your child has read at home.

Read Write Inc Videos

Following on from the reading meeting, please find the Read Write Inc videos for parents to help support your children with their reading.  If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
