Ways to help your child enjoy reading
- Read with your child every day and ask questions about the book.
- Check your child has an understanding of what they are reading e.g do they understand the meaning of words and are they able summarise what they have read?
- Encourage your child to engage a variety of different text e.g fiction, non-fiction, newspapers, radio, audio stories and comics.
We often celebrate literary events where children have an opportunity to attend author, artists visits, themed class activities and educational workshops and as well as a wide range of creative activities and events.
