Reading books are changed every Tuesday or Friday. Your child will have the same book over three nights. This is very important to help them to read independently.
Day 1 - Talk about the book together, look at the pictures and talk about any new or tricky words. Give your child lots of encouragement and help.
Day 2 - Practice the tricky words before you begin. Let your child read and give them time to self-correct. Ask questions about the book.
Day 3 - Encourage your child to read independently, fluently and with lots of expression.
