Reading

We expect all our children to read every evening and at weekends. In Year 5, 15 minutes should be a minimum but, if your child can't put their book down because they are so engrossed, that's the magic of reading. It is important to encourage your child to read a rang of book genres / styles, but equally there is no harm in being addicted to a series or specific author!
