Helping your child at home with Literacy

There are lots of ways that you can help your child at home with Literacy, one of the main ones however is lots and lots and lots and lots of reading! Model reading everything from pictures books to food packets.

Celebrate your child's attempts at reading - even if they get the words wrong it's great that they are wanting to try. As their phonics skills grow they will be able to recognise more and more sounds and will begin to be able to blend these sounds to read words.

We use a reading scheme at school called The Oxford Reading Tree and they have a companion website that offers a free ebook library containing a selection of downloadable books for the age and stage of your child. You can find this site by following this link:
