Reading

 

Your child has been sent home with several books to read. Additionally, the websites below have some free audio books to listen to with accompanying written books to download. They might like to read along as they listen to The Jungle Book since we will be studying rain forests later next term.

The texts are of varying levels of difficulty, so please find the right level which your child can read independently.
