Reading at home
In Year 2, your child will be given a reading day. On your child's reading day, they will need to bring their reading record and reading book into school. Each child will read with an adult and a new reading book will be provided.
We appreciate that it is not always possible to read every night with your child, but do ask that you make every effort to read at least 5 times per week with them, and make a comment in their reading records.
Reading at home doesn’t always mean their school reading books, it could be anything from a newspaper, magazine, or kindle books to instructions for a board game. Remember we also have our online eBooks available through RWI Oxford Owls.

To support their learning, Year 2 students are encouraged to use TTRockstars to increase their fluency with basic mathematical skills. Just 5 minutes of practice daily can make a significant difference!
Please ensure your children continue to access their TT Rockstars account through the app or website.
