Other
It is essential that all the children are reading at home at least 3 x a week and this is then recorded onto the BOOM read app, as this helps the children to gain extra dojo points to help them gain merit certificates and allow them to develop their reading fluency.
All children should have their reading books in their book bags every day, so that we can read with them when the opportunity arises.
