Reading - All children have a book from the Year 4 library to read and can now get a book from the school library too. One of these should be coming home regularly with a reading record. Please make sure your child is either reading to an adult at home or reading independently and discussing it with an adult. Please sign their record when they have read and they can get certificates and end of term goodies.
