Reading for pleasure
How to encourage your child to read for pleasure
Learning to read takes a lot of time and practice. Children who have been read to will develop an understanding and love of books which will help to give them the drive to learn to read for themselves when they are ready.
Reading is important because it develops our thoughts and ways of expressing ourselves and it provides us with the means to access endless knowledge.
Please find below some ideas about how you can support your child's reading and lists of books for them to enjoy.
To support our children’s reading at home we subscribe to BugClub, an online reading resource. For further information please click on www.activelearnprimary.co.uk. All the children from Reception to Year 2 have their own individual login details. Please contact the school office if you have any difficulties accessing this resource.
