Daily Reading

Daily reading is one of the most important activities to maintain during this break from school. Please encourage your child to read for at least 15 minutes (30 minutes for confident readers) daily. 

Oxford Owl is an excellent on-line resource, providing access to eBooks for a range of abilities. 

To log on, go to oxfordowl.co.uk. You will be asked to subscribe (for free) by giving your email address and by providing a password. You will then be given an email confirmation to let you get started. Books are sorted by age and colour band. There are lots of tips for parents, guides on Phonics and Comprehension and also a range of on-line Maths activities.

The Phonics audio guide is an excellent resource for revision of sounds.                                                NB. P2 is the same as Year 1 in England so make sure you go on to the correct year group.    

HAPPY READING!
