Calling all parents and carers!
We need your help!
As part of our Reading Schools Silver Award Accreditation we are hoping to raise the profile of reading with families.
Lots of research has shown that continued reading aloud to children even after they can read on their own, improves reading and listening skills and academic performance. It is relaxing and wonderful for bonding.
We would appreciate it if you could participate in Our Really BIG READ ALOUD! Which will take place from Tuesday 24th May to Thursday 2nd June.
We are hoping that over the next 2 weeks families could find time to fit in 5 or 10 minutes of reading aloud together …at least 3 times each week if possible.
If your child can read independently you can share the reading together. It doesn’t need to be a book. It could be a comic, newspaper, magazine. It could be a recipe if you are baking or cooking together.. or the instructions for a game or model. And we know how much everyone likes a story being read to them.. even our senior pupils.
It would great if you could take a photo of your family reading time. You may see classes will have a post on their Seesaw or Teams page about reading for enjoyment at home.
Thank you for your support.
Happy Reading Everyone!
