Reading Records

Expectations and Guidance 

  • Daily Reading: Children should read at home every day for at least 15–20 minutes.

  • Timely Entries: Reading entries must be recorded on the actual day the reading takes place. For example, Tuesday’s reading should be logged on Tuesday evening, not retrospectively.

  • Discussion: Encourage your child to talk about what they’ve read—characters, events, new words or predictions.

  • Book Variety: Children should read a mix of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and school books as well as books from home or the library.

 

Children are to complete in pencil, note the title including the author and a sentence about what they have read.  These are to be brought in daily.

                                                       

 

Children are in the early stages of taking Little Wandle or colour-banded book to read alongside their daily reading. These books are to be read at home throughout the week.
