Reading books need to be in school every day. Please have your reading record signed each day (apart from booster evenings) so that we can make sure that you are reading regularly. You should aim to read between 20 and 30 minutes a night during the week, and at least once over the weekend. Book quizzes may be completed at home or in school. If you are using the app at home, then you need to access our school's designated page:
