Reading: We encourage the children to read widely, so please feel free to read any books at home and log these on Boom Reader, equally children are also encouraged to log their own reading. All children* have the opportunity to choose a home/school reading book which can be independently changed as required. They also have the opportunity to choose a library book.
(*Some children might still be bringing home a scheme book, but this will be based on an assessed need)
