Expectations

Government expect that at the END of the reception year children can:

read and understand simple sentences. They use phonic knowledge to decode regular words

and read them aloud accurately. They also read some common irregular words. They

demonstrate understanding when talking with others about what they have read.

Reading

• Reading is fun and one of the most exciting things that any of us can do

• Each child is an individual and develops at their own speed

• When teaching children to read we want them to read and be readers

  If kids are entertained by two letters, imagine the

fun they'll have with twenty-six. 

TV

Open your child's imagination.

Open a book!
