Dear Parents/carers,
Learning to read is the most important thing your child will learn at our school. Everything else depends on it, so we do all we can to make sure every child learns to read quickly.
We want your child to love reading – and to want to read for themselves.
You can help.
Throughout the year we will run a series of meetings for parents to learn how we are teaching your children to read, and learn how you can help at home.
Join us for an information-sharing meeting on Monday, 30th June at 3:30 PM. We’ll have a crèche available, so you can relax and take part without any interruptions. The details of the meetings 2-6 will follow later.

Meeting 2 – Set 1 Sounds
