Accelerated Reading

Accelerated Reading has began again and will run until Easter.

I am hoping everyone will hit their target and that we will have a few more join the millionaires club!!

As part of the programme we do two 15 minute slots of reading everyday.  So far it is working well and some people are very close to their target.

However at least 30 minutes of reading at home is needed as well.

This is a fantastic programme and everyone will reap benefits from it.

A letter was sent home before christmas where you were given details of how to log into your childs account and be able to keep track on what they are reading and how they are scoring in their comprehension quizzes.

Keep up the good reading.


Board Game Friday

As part of our oral language we played board games last Friday.  it was a reminder how much fun they can be and how it gets us all talking together.
