Reading
Introduction
It is really important to read as much as possible with your child. Research shows that children who are helped at home make better progress in school. By enjoying books together and sharing a love of stories from the earliest age, will help your child develop. Children regard reading as a special kind of sharing because they have your personal attention and reading with your child can be fun and very rewarding. At Bedmond Academy we teach early reading through the Letters and Sounds programme.

Practising Early Reading Skills
The books that your child brings home from school should be at the right level for your child. These are banded reading books, and are written to ensure steady progress and success.
You can find our tips on reading with your child in the document below.
The Fluent Reader
It is important to continue reading with even the most fluent reader right up to Year 6. As the text that your child is reading, both in school and at home, becomes increasingly more difficult, you can help your child to develop the skills required to obtain a deeper understanding of what they are reading.
The document below provides some guidance on how you can help.
