Reading is an important life skill - How to help at home Reading at home is one of the most important ways you can support your child. Here are some ways you can help. Continued…… Read online books – your teacher can give you login details for Bug Club which has a range of books at your child’s level. These are interactive and fun with quizzes to help you see how much your child understands. The teacher can monitor this and see the progress being made at home. Help your child engage with books by using them as an inspiration for play. At the back of every Bug Club book there are activities for children to do with you or their friends. You could also try acting out part of the story, or making something from the book. Remember that reading a book is not the only reading your child will do. Encourage them to read signs, leaflets, recipes, instructions and so on. By reading these types of texts your child will often be reading without realising they are doing so!
Do you have any unwanted board games? If so and you would like to donate them to school please see Miss McKnight.
