Reading – FS2

Children will come home with a reading book. They will be told which colour book they are on. Lilac book have no words – these books are used at the start before children are able to read. The children will tell the story through the pictures – encourage your child to use as much detail as possible.

Reading – FS2

Please can we ask that when reading at home with your child you:

• Talk to your child about what their reading focus is;
• consider what they have done when reading that relates to this
• focus. (Please talk to your child’s teacher if you would like

some help and support with this);

• Write a comment in their reading record – please relate this to

their target.
