Accelerated reading Books:

Children in Key stage 1 will no longer be choosing books from the AR shelves in school. We will provide a suitable selection of books in each classroom. All this means is the books won’t have the numbered sticker on anymore.

Please remember to bring your child’s reading card and book in each day. This enables us to read with your child regularly and fit more reading in as and when we have a suitable time slot.
