Reading with Children

Reading is an important part of children’s learning. It is a skill that children need in all areas of the curriculum.

Research demonstrates that if parents read with their children, children’s reading standards can improve. Regular times at home to read with your child, and using strategies that are consistent with school, will significantly support your child’s reading.

Reading with children is the main focus for today and next weeks ESOL sessions. Miss Man talked and discussed with the parents the importance of reading and gave them lots of strategies they could use at home to help their child read.

The parents worked very hard and helped each other to read a variety of dual language text and English stories. Those that had limited English were supported by those more confident.

A big thank you to one of my parents for bringing in a Chinese New Year cake for all us to sample. It was absolutely delicious and everyone fully enjoyed eating it.
