Well done to all of the Year 6 children for the responsible attitude that they have shown towards their home reading and homework! 😊

Please see below for the home reading expectations for Sets One, Two and Three. This information will also be sent home in reading diaries this week.

Reading is a vital part of children’s learning; our aim is for them not only to become competent readers but to develop a real love of reading. Because of this, we encourage our children to read regularly, at length and from a wide range of genres.

In Set One, the expectation is that children should read at least 100 pages during the course of the week. This could be divided into  multiple reads, split into two or three reads or completed as one lengthy read.

In Set Two, the expectation is that children should read at least 50 pages during the course of the week. This could be divided into  multiple reads, split into two or three reads or completed as one lengthy read.

In Set Three, the expectation is that children should read either 5 times per week, or at least 50 pages. This could be divided into  multiple reads, split into two or three reads or completed as one lengthy read.

Each read should be recorded at the time of reading, with the date, pages read and a comment, and preferably initialled by an adult.

Many thanks for your support with this.

The Year 6 Team
