We encourage all children to read at home for enjoyment every day You can support reading by:
Reading to and with your child
Helping your child when they need it - explore words they might not understand, relate them to real-world situations
Making reading enjoyable, show your child that you read, talk about books and go to the library together
Visit the library or use Libby, Epic, or Borrowbox.
Your child will be learning to read using a structured literacy approach. This focuses on the sounds that letters make and how to decode words. Each week your child will bring home a book to read with you. Here are same ways you can help them. You will find more information in your child's literacy book:
Read the sounds with your child (eg ‘m’ words)
Segment/break up words and blend them together (e.g. t-a-p, tap.
Learn the non decodable words ‘by heart’.
