The reading challenge. The children need to read at least four times a week for ten weeks to receive their reading badge at the end of the term. Please record when you read in the Partnership book as then we know when to change the book.

Books will be changed and sent home on a Monday and a Thursday. Please ensure that your child is being questioned on what they are reading to encourage their comprehension skills.
