Dear Parents & Carers,
Reading for pleasure is a great way to relax, escape reality, improve vocabulary and comprehension and develop our children into well-rounded members of our school and community. As parents and carers, I encourage you to prioritise reading with your children for as little as 10 minutes per day. Perhaps before bedtime, at breakfast or in the car on the way to school. Every little moment that a child can capture to read is a moment well spent! As such, your support of our annual Book Fair is a great way to broaden your child's home library as well as contributing to new books for our school libraries.
Now more than ever we need your help! Recent research shows that at-home reading time is declining. Please prioritise reading with your kids and alongside your kids to model good reading habits.
Thank you in advance for your continued support,
Mrs Heyman - Teacher Librarian
