A little reaing every day makes a big difference.

                 

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.  

 

While children read their book with their partner they are encouraged to stop and have discussions in a respectful way as mentioned above, and also through addressing a variety of these skills, some of which will be being specifically teacher taught using sentence stems in the same way. You could prompt your child to refer to these sentence stems when reading at home or answering questions about a book you have read to them.
