Welcome to Autumn term!
We’ve quickly got into the swing of things and are ready to go with our home reading.
As you know, building a love of reading in your child by reading aloud at home strengthens their language, vocabulary and comprehension skills, and improves their social skills and confidence as you listen to them read.
You’ll have noticed Reading Records and reading books coming home in school bags, and/or assigned an ebook. Please get in touch with your child’s class teacher if this isn’t the case.
At Scholes, children are required to read at home every day for 15 minutes. We ask that a reading activity is completed at home just once a week, brought into school on their Book Club days and signed by parents. The children will be directed which activity to complete each week.
Book club days:
3/4A – Wednesday
3/4B – Wednesday
3/4C – Thursday
- Make a special reading spot.
- Let reading be a special part of every day.
- Ask questions. As you read together, ask questions about the book to build comprehension skills.
- Make time for mistakes.
- Re-read favourite books.
- Read for fun.
