Reading
All children have brought home a reading book. Please try to read with your child each night and ensure they bring their reading book and signed log back to school every day. Ideally, your child should read their book three nights a week and use Reading Plus for two nights. Please remember to sign their Reading Plus log as well, as this helps us keep track of the assignments completed at home.
