HOME READING is a very important part of our school’s approach to literacy.  The ability to read opens the world. Research indicates that children learn to read when they feel comfortable and confident and are exposed to a wide range of quality texts. This means they are read to and are encouraged to read aloud.  We expect students in years 1 to 3 to read aloud every night (7 days a week). Students in years 4 to 7 are expected to read silently every night. Students are encouraged to borrow from classroom and library resources. School-based incentives will be provided to encourage motivation.  Your help is required to sign off the recording sheets each day to signify that your child has read at home.
