Reading
Please continue to read with your child a minimum of 3 times per week. Your child has been sent home with a book from school and any reading that you do or books you share at home together can be recorded on Tapestry.
As a school we have recently bought into Collins Ebooks. These provide an online library of books which teachers can allocate linked to children’s growing Phonics knowledge, are age appropriate and are ideal in the current climate when children are unable to access reading books in school.
To access the books please follow the link below. Your child’s user name is UKHOLY followed by your child’s first and last name e.g. UKHOLYVickySonko, their password is Reading1
