All children are given the opportunity to choose a library book to bring home each week.
Children will bring home a reading book aligned to a specific level. It is expected that children practise their reading daily. Children are assessed each half term to ensure that books are appropriately challenging for them. The assessment is a combination of accuracy, fluency and comprehension.
All children have Boom Reader log ons. It is expected that parents log their reading (home books, school library books/story sacks and reading practice). Those children that have at least 3 sessions in a week logged will have an additional playtime, whilst those that don't have time to practise their reading with a member of staff.
New books will not be issued until previous ones are returned. If books are not returned/lost a charge will be made to cover the cost of purchasing new ones.
