Reading

Reading is a fundamental part of the learning journey for every child. Many reading opportunities are carefully planned for the children at school. Parents and Carers can also support their children to develop the love for reading.

To support reading at home, on this page there are useful guides in different languages for parents and carers. In addition, there are Recommended Reading Lists and Best Book Guides. For any other information regarding reading, please speak to your child's class teacher.
