Things you can do at home to help develop your child’s reading ability and enthusiasm

Ensure that your child reads at least four times a week and record this in their reading record. If your child completes the reading scheme and becomes a ‘free reader’ it is still very important that they read.

• Talk to your child about the book they are reading.
• Ask questions while they are reading, please see question prompts.
• Read books to your child/read together.
• Visit the library.
