Reading for fun with a book of choice to build interest in reading.
Asking questions about the book as you read.

Take Home Reading

In Year 2, we swap our readers on the same day we visit the library and students will bring home two new books each week. Repeating the same books over the week allows time to comprehend different parts of the text and develop a deeper understanding of what we are reading.

Up coming dates:

Later this term we will be going swimming. Information will come out soon with dates and details.
