Reading
There are three reading books from the reading zone. ‘The Big Horse’, (green words), ‘What a Mess’, (orange words), and ‘Stop That Dog’, (purple words). Children will learn a new word every night and revise the old words. When all the green words are taught the children will start on the orange words for the next book.
Shared Reading
Each night your child may pick a library book from the class library to be read as story time at home. This is to encourage the love of reading as well as reading fluency. Your child may recognise some of the words or none depending on their level of reading fluency. This is perfectly normal. Please read with and to your child. They may fill out their library card and perhaps use a happy face if they enjoyed the book.
