Welcome back, everyone!

It has been lovely to see all the children back at school today. They have settled in well and enjoyed catching up with their friends.

Over the next few days, children will bring home a reading book and reading record. Children who are continuing with Read Write Inc. will be given a reading book over the next few days and will receive their new level Read Write Inc. books from their new teacher on Monday.

Please record each time you hear your child read in their reading record. This helps us keep track of their reading progress and celebrate their efforts.

Children who have completed Read Write Inc. will be bringing home a Purple Level book. They are responsible for choosing their own book to take home and read. These books are for home reading only and the children will not be reading these books with teachers in school. Please remember to record each reading session in your child's reading record. Once your child has finished their book, a parent or carer should sign the reading record to confirm it has been completed. This will allow your child to exchange it for a new book. Children are reading these books for pleasure and teachers will monitor their progress and make more books available to choose from as children's reading levels progress and fluency increases.

Thank you for your support with reading at home. We are looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!
