Reading

It is important that all children continue to read to and discuss texts with an adult on a regular basis. Children should read for at least fifteen minutes every night. Reading records must be signed by an adult to confirm that daily reading has been done. This should include the name of the book and the number of pages read.

In Year 4, children use the accelerated reader programme which encourages them to engage with a wide variety of texts from the library. Children will then have the opportunity to select books of interest to them and complete quizzes to further develop comprehension skills and understanding.

If you would like to carry out extra activities here are some options you may wish to choose.

• Discuss the key characters and settings
• Make a list of unfamiliar words and their meanings
• Discuss the books with your child and the events that occur

English
