  14. Reading with your child • Your child will at first be sent home with a wordless book, this is to encourage confident and fluent story telling. • When your child is deemed ready by their teachers (usually after a few weeks of phonics) they will be moved on to books with words. • Please read with your child every day and make a note of this in their reading record, a short comment and signature is enough. • Reading badges starting in January. • School staff will always write in the diary in purple pen.
