Reading
When children are at the early stages of reading and are just learning some sounds and how to blend (put sounds together to read a word), they start with a 'Lilac' reading book. The purpose of these books is to develop speaking and listening skills through creating and telling stories, and to develop the skill of orally re-telling a story. Below is some information for how to support your child with their 'Lilac' reading book.
When the children are more confident and able to blend and read words, we will then send them with a 'pink' reading book, which has words. Below is some information for you to support with reading 'pink' books at home.
