Please see the attachment with ideas and advice for parents in continuing to promote that love of reading at home. Hope you find it useful.

Please find attached our latest Reading Newsletter for you to share together at home.

We love reading at Newport Junior School and want the children to develop a real reading for pleasure attitude.

Part of this comes from talking about books and sharing books.

I hope you enjoy this half term’s newsletter and thanks to Mr Lawson for his contributions!

Thank you,

Mr Rotherham

Newsletter 12

Teachers will have been busy making sure all children have a matched reading book appropriate to their age. Hopefully children will have shared these books with you and shared their Reading Record book with you too.

We ask that children read at least 3 times a week at home.

Please record what they have read by writing it in their Reading Record Book.

Staff in school will check these books regularly to monitor reading at home and check how children are getting on with the books they have chosen.

Please see this attached leaflet with further information about how we organise reading at NJS and with suggestions for comments in the Reading Record Book. (The books are sometimes referred to as a Reading Diary- they are the same thing!)

Reading Leaflet for Parents 2021

Mrs Breen, the school librarian and Mr Rotherham take delivery of many new books for the library.

We asked the children to tell us new books they wanted to have in the library and we are thrilled to say we have many of those books now ready for them to read in September!

We also have lots of new books for our book boxes (pictures to follow) which again will be ready for September.
