At the Grove Academy, children are encouraged to enjoy books and stories at every opportunity. Stories are shared in class each day and children also have the chance to access many different books and stories during their Child Initiated Learning time.
The Book Trust states that "children who enjoy reading do better at school in all subjects", so fostering this love of books and reading at an early age can have a huge impact on children throughout their school life and beyond.
Sharing familiar stories at home, even at this early stage before children have become independent readers, is one way to help your child develop a love of reading. The Book Trust has some fantastic tips on sharing books... http://www.booktrust.org.uk/books/children/how-to-share-books/
Don't forget to pop in to the school library on a Tuesday after school!
