We love reading at Broomwood! Sharing picture books from birth has so many benefits and helps to build pathways to language and vocabulary that are essential to your child's cognitive development. Research indicates that the more a child is read to the more words they are exposed to...

Never read to: 4,662 words.

1-2 times per week: 63,570 words.

3-5 times per week: 169,520 words.

Book bag and story books

We recommend that you listen to your child read at home at least three times per week.

Reading books (matched to their current class book and ability) are changed every Monday, please make sure your child's reading book and record is signed and in school.

The videos below show some helpful information to support your child with their reading at home.
