On the 22nd March 2022 there was a meeting to support parents with reading at home. The presentation and handout are below.
Reading Together
Outside each of the Reception, Year One and Year Two classrooms are boxes of books for reading together. We would like to encourage parents and children to choose a book together to take home and an adult to read this book to their child. This is not about reading practise for your child; it is about enjoying a book together. Watch the video below to hear Mrs Carter, our Deputy Head, explain how this works.

Order of the programme
The programme is ordered through a series of colour-coded books, each progressively introducing new letters and sounds.
Below, you can find the progression of book colours and the typical age-range that children will be exposed to them. You can also find, below, documents to download which identify exactly which new learning is introduced in each book colour phase.
