<\/a><\/p>\nReading plays an important role in the development of children\u2019s literacy and vocabulary skills. At Wellshot Primary, we strive to ensure that all children meet their potential. To support your child\u2019s development we would like to encourage you to read to or with your child. It may be a newspaper or magazine article or a storybook. Reading is not expensive as you can take your child along to the local library where they can borrow books to expand their reading skills and knowledge.<\/p>\n
We have suggested a few authors which you and your child may like to explore.<\/p>\n
