Reading Diaries
Each child, from EYFS to Year 6 are given a Reading Diary each term. Children are expected to read at least 4 times a week. Those who achieve this consistently across a whole term are rewarded during the final celebration assembly of the Autumn, Spring and Summer Terms. The class that has the highest percentage of children reading 4 or more times a week, for a whole term, get a trophy. Children who manage to read 4 or more times for a whole school year are put forward for a special reward. There is no sanction for children who read less than the expected amount. Instead, these children are offered opportunities in school to catch up with an adult or a member of our school reading ambassador team. How often the children read at home is tracked and those children who consistently read less than 4 times a week are prioritised for 1:1 reading during school time. Reading Diaries are checked once a week and the information is recorded on a spreadsheet which is monitored by the English Lead.
