Reading
Children in Class 2 should read all of their reading book out loud to an adult every night. This is recorded in the green reading
record. The book and record must come to school every day to be checked or exchanged.
The day the books are changed will vary depending on which reading group your child is in, but you will receive at least two per week. These should be re-read to ensure fluency.
Thank you so much for all your support with reading at home.

Homework will be set on Class Dojo every week on Monday. There will also be optional homework.
