Tuesday - Year 3 Parent Reading SchemeAt the end of last term a request for Reading volunteers was made which resulted in six ladies attending meetings with myself. At these meetings the ladies learnt and practised the Phonetic alphabet and discussed de-coding and reading techniques. The ladies worked with Amber, Green and Indigo classes from 17th May, till the end of term; providing much appreciated and valued support to the children in these classes. Over this short period of time it was noticed that the programme was of great benefit to the children. It has boosted the confidence of the children and helped to encourage them to read. The ladies are willing to carry on supporting these children, as they progress to year 2. If there are any more volunteers who wish to help with reading please contact Mrs J.Gunning.

Letter to Parents from Head Teacher The Reading Project - By Debbie RevellI have 6 adults who come into school about once a week and work with reception classes. They currently read with the children. The adults have been given some training as to how we read and use sounds to help the children. The project is a great help to the reception classes as it helps get through all the readers every week. There is also a lady coming in and helping with the year 5 children. Feedback from the adults is that they enjoy their reading sessions with the children. This project is also helping a couple of adults who have recently had children and are hoping to get back into the world of work again.
