Reading at Home

September 29, 2020

Now that we have all settled back into our new 'normal' and have made a fantastic start to the new academic year, we just wanted to share a reminder of school expectations for reading at home and the many positive benefits this has for your child.

Watch our video to find out more about how this works at our school: 

At Hacton, we expect children to read at home to an adult at least three times a week for a minimum of ten minutes. One of theses reads should be with their school reading book. If you wanted to read more regularly than this, it will benefit your child even more!

Reading records will be checked every week by a member of staff and children who have read at least three times every week during the half term will take part in a readers' treat celebration within their bubbles.

To support reading with your child, you can find guidance here: Reading with your child guidance .

For more detailed information about Reading at Hacton, see Hacton's English Curriculum .

Happy Reading!
