Reading gives you some place to go when you have to stay where you are...

Reading for pleasure is really important. It's important that you find something that you enjoy reading. You should be reading every night at home. This can be a story, magazine, newspaper or information book. We'd also love to see some more of your great #caughtreading pictures!

Accelerated reader:

It is really important that when children have read a book:

- They record it in their reading record.

- They take an Accelerated Reader test on that book. 

Your child should be taking Accelerated Reader tests at home regularly each week. 

This helps with their understanding of the book and develops their comprehension skills. These tests can be taken on books at home, library books, books they are reading in school and reading passport books.

A child should be reading at least 1 book and taking an Accelerated Reader test a week.

Spellings:

Year 4 are expected to be able to spell all of these words correctly by the end of Year 4.
