Top Tips for Reading:
Sibling Readers club
We have recently trained up our year 5 and 6 children who have siblings to read with them. They do a fantastic job segmenting and blending words for their brothers/sisters! The children have really enjoyed listening to their siblings and asking them questions about the stories that are being read. A huge well done to key stage one, fabulous reading! Miss Gregory.
