Please send your child's book into school every day so an adult can listen to them read in school.
Your child will bring home a library book on a Wednesday and they will need to return the book the following Tuesday.
Phonics Homework
Phonics homework books will be sent home each Friday. Books need to be returned to school the following Thursday. The newsletters to support this will be uploaded to Seesaw each week.
