Reading At Home
Children in Year 1 will bring home a Dandelion reader once a week. This is a book previously shared in school and will be familiar to the child when they bring it home. They should aim to read this fluently to you. They will also bring home an additional reader to enhance their reading. Please try to read with your child at least four times a week, and write a comment in the reading record. Thank you.
