As the children begin to learn letter sounds in Reception, they will be sent home with a phonic reader that is matched to their sound recognition. We expect children to read every day and ask parents to sign the contact book everyday. We also encourage parents to read a bedtime story every night. The more words a child know when starting school, the higher their academic success so why not snuggle down and enjoy stories together.
At half terms, work related to their learning will also be set.
As well as this, gaining as many experiences outside of school can also help academic attainment so why not talk a walk through the woods or visit the park?
