Reading
Daily Reading - Year 2 is a really important year for reading. We are trying to improve our fluency, our prosody and our comprehension skills. We read in school every day so it is really, really important that your child has their reading folder every day.
Reading at Home - It is really important that children read at home to a grown up, every day. This will help them to make good progress in all areas of reading. Children will also benefit from being read to, so any chance you get, chose a story to read together.
Reading Folders - Reading books from our reading scheme are very expensive to replace. In an attempt to keep them in good condition, we will only send them home in a reading packet or green school reading folders. Please do not place them in back packs where drinks bottles can spill on them.
Green Outwoods school reading folders can still be bought at the office if you would like one.
Changing Books - On Thursday evenings we will keep your child's reading folder and change their book ready for the next week. please ensure that the folder is in school on Thursday's.
We are sorry, but if your child does not return their book, we cannot provide them with a new book until it has been returned. If your child loses their book or the book becomes damaged; then a charge of £5 will be made
