Reading at home
We encourage all children to read each night and record it in their reading diaries. If they read for four nights a week, they will earn 4 tokens for their house and get a raffle ticket in the jar! At the end of the term, I'll pull one raffle ticket out and the winner will receive a £10 Gift Card!
Happy reading!
