“And speaking of appreciation: wow. You are a beautiful school. Lovely kids, great staff, fantastic culture of learning and kindness, wild creativity and imagination. I could not possibly have asked for a better visit; St Luke’s really blew me away! It was lovely to see their respect towards grown-ups, but also towards each other. It makes me so happy when I hear the students encouraging their friends.
I mentioned it in the last session with you, but when a school is this good, it makes my job 10x easier – I can focus on giving my 110%. Honestly, it was… just absolute joy. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your community for the day.”
Your child’s class teacher will choose a book depending on the sound that they would like your child to focus on.
As you will see from the videos below we don’t expect for you to complete a book in one night. To use these books to their full potential , each book should be kept for at least a couple of days.
We have broken down a suggested reading session for you into bitesize videos. Please take a look as they will guide you on how to use these books.
Your child’s class teacher will change the book when they feel that your child is confident with that sound and can read with fluency and without any errors.
Your child may only bring one book home a week and that is ok, they need to be secure with that sound before moving on to the next book.
