Please make comments regarding their reading in the reading record book. We will only change your child's books if we can see that they have been read at home, a signiature is required. Your child will also have chosen a book from the school's library for you to share together. A new library book can be chosen each week (if the previous one has been returned),

We have also added links to the high frequency and tricky words which your child is expected to learn this year.
Your child will also have spellings to learn each week, please encourage the correct letter formation.
