We have noticed that many of the reading bookmarks aren’t being completed. These are an important means of communication and replaces our previous reading record. These not only support your child with their key sounds but are a crucial part of your child’s reading assessment. Please can you ensure you are reading for at least 20 minutes a day with your child and noting down their progress. Thank you!
