Reading

At Byron we believe every child should read every day. Reading is important in developing vocabulary for fluency and comprehension.

Set up a routine, make reading fun and make sure your child reads every day!

Regardless of the age of your child, reading aloud is important, even when your child knows how to read.

Reasons to read aloud to your child

  1. Children understand at a higher level than they can read
  2. It builds vocabulary
  3. It Improves achievement
  4. It develops a love of reading
  5. It helps children become better writers

 

Tips for Families

  1. Make Reading a Daily Routine
  2. Choose a Quiet Time and Place
  3. Help Your Child Select Books 
  4. Make Reading Interactive
  5. Expand Language and Vocabulary
  6. Build Reading Stamina

Accelerated Reader

What is Accelerated Reader?

Accelerated Reader is a computer program that helps teachers manage and monitor children’s independent reading practice. Your child picks a book at his/her own level and reads it at his/her own pace. When finished, your child takes a short quiz on the computer. (Passing the quiz is an indication that your child understood what was read.) Accelerated Reader gives children and teachers feedback based on the quiz results, which the teacher then uses to help your child set goals and direct ongoing reading practice.

We welcome all of our pupils to use the library as often as possible. We would like our children from Nursery, Reception, Years 1, 2 and 3 to bring along an adult to help them enjoy the library fully.

Children in Years 4, 5 and 6 can come to the library on their own but they need to make sure their parents know they are planning on visiting the library after school.
