Reading in detail

Year 3 children should read out loud to an adult at least once a week and to themselves 4 times a week at home (approximately 20 minutes each time).

If your child needs more support in their reading, they will become a Pirate reader or put onto a program called Easy Read. Progress will be carefully monitored and parents will be informed.

Parents are very welcome to help in each class with reading.

It is helpful to make sure the books are suitable for your childs ability.

The children can borrow books from our school library and take these home.
