Reading at home
By the end of Year 1, children should be confidently reading Turquoise 17 books! For this reason, we encourage the children to read at home daily. Please support your child by spending 10-20 minutes reading with them at home every day. This really does help the children to make fantastic progress in their reading. This also helps prepare them for the Year 1 phonics screening check in June, and the SATs in Year 2.
For every multiple of 10 reads completed at home, your child will earn the following prizes:
10: smelly sticker
20: super pencil
30: dip in the box
40: ice lolly
50: certificate
60: dip in the box
70: sweet treat
80: reading area pass
90: tea party in the staff room
100: a new book!
If you need any guidance on the best way to support your child's reading at home please do not hesitate to ask your child's teacher.
