Reading

Looking for ideas for reading- maybe you want to read something alongside your Bug book reading scheme. Well here are some ideas:

• Why not read a section of the newspaper or the newsround website (FirstNews is an excellent newspaper made espcially for children)
• Read an interesting article on-line
• Read a bedtime story to your younger brother or sister
• Visit the local library and explore the wide range of books they have available
• Why not download an e-book
• Go to this website:https://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk/ it is full of recommendations for children of all ages and you can also download extracts of some of the books to get a taster.
• Use the Oak Academy website: All subjects - Key Stage 2 - Oak National Academy (thenational.academy)
