Read, read, read! This is the most crucial, valuable and rewarding thing that you can do to support your child with their learning. In terms of reading scheme books, Oxford Owl is a good free online resource (which supports our school reading scheme), with a wide range of ebooks available for your child to read. You will be able to select books dependent on their age and reading ability.

It is absolutely fine for children to re-read books, in fact this helps children in the early stages of reading to become more fluent and increase their confidence.
