Reading Reward
Each half-term the children can earn reading rewards for reading at home or in our free reading school clubs. In school reading clubs are worth 3 reads each and can be booked via Arbor with the other clubs. There is a reading club on a Wednesday lunchtime too for those who cannot stay after school.
Reading reward levels for next half-term:
Bronze - 12 reads
Silver - 16 reads
Gold - 20 reads
We would love it if reads could be uploaded to Seesaw or Tapestry ideally as a video so we can hear your reading and get immersed in the book too. If you have any difficulties with this or need a login please see a member of your child's teaching team.
