Reading Challenge!

Can you complete the reading challenge?

All you have to do is READ!! Can you read every day?

This year to reward the children for practicing their reading skills at home, we are challenging the children to read as many times as they can at home.

The book they read could be the reading book they have been given that matches their phonic ability, the book they have chosen from the unit 1 library or a different book they have in their collection at home. However, the book must be read by the children.  

In each classroom there is a reading challenge display. Every child has been given an animal with their name on and they will move their animal along the trail on their class display to reach their class target space.

Every Friday the teacher will collect and check each child’s reading diary and count how many times they have read to someone during the week at home. If they have read 4 or more times during the week at home the children will move along the trail on the class display. In addition, they will be given the opportunity to have an extra 5 minutes playtime on a Friday afternoon.

The children will be rewarded after every 5 weeks of successful reads with a certificate and a sticker. After 10 and 20 weeks of successful reads the children will also receive a small prize and at the 30 read marker, they will receive a book. 

Once the children have reached their reading challenge target, they will receive a final reward to celebrate their fantastic achievement and wonderful hard work.

In order for us to check how many times your child has read at home during the week we will require your help. Every time your child reads to someone at home just sign and date your child’s reading diary (writing mum, dad, nan, etc. is sufficient). If you wish to write a comment then you are more than welcome to do so but please don't feel you have to. We can then reward your child when they have read 4 or more times during the week and ensure that they have every home read counted.  

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. Every member of staff in our team will always do everything they can to help in any way possible. Thank you for your continued support.

Happy Reading!
