The importance of Reading - Message from Mrs Dickson


Dear Parents,
 
Reading is the most important skill that your children need to acquire in order to succeed in all areas of the curriculum. Please encourage your child to read regularly in Spanish and English both during term time and, perhaps even more importantly, during the summer holidays. Act as a good model for your children and demonstrate the joy of reading. Read to and with your children, encourage them to read to you and talk about their reading material with them.
Below are some age appropriate suggestions for English books and authors that you will enjoy reading with your child:
 
The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl
Dinosaur Trouble by Dick King Smith
The Hodgeheg by Dick King Smith
George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl

Esio Trot by Roald Dahl
Horrid Henry and the Mega-Mean Time Machine by Francesca Simon
Horrid Henry's Car Journey by Francesca Simn
The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig by Eugene Trivizas
