Reading Workshop 2025
It was a pleasure to see so many parents at our reading workshop. Please find the slide below for your reference.
First Reading Book Letter
It is always an exciting milestone when your child comes home with their first reading book. We encourage you to support your child as much as possible as they develop as an early reader. The letter below outlines some of the ways you can help support them at home.
Phonics Videos
Please watch these videos with your child little and often, learning alongside them. Each week, one of the Foundation teachers will share the sounds the children have been learning, along with any rainbow words. These videos are designed to support your child’s recognition and recall of the sounds they have already covered.
