Parents,
Here is a guide to reading at Newport Junior School. It explains how we teach reading and how we encourage children to love reading the books they choose at school.
We ask that children read at home with you at least 3 times a week. Please record this in their Reading Diary. The Guide has suggestions for comments you might record in the Reading Diary. Staff will check the Reading Diary weekly to encourage the children in their reading and celebrate their hard work.
Children should always have a reading book to bring home. If they don’t share this with you, please check their bag and then contact the class teacher as all children should have 2 reading books at all times. (One chosen with help from the teacher and one which is their choice, usually from the library).
