"Small enough to care, Big enough to inspire"
Why is reading so important?
Enjoying books and reading stories from a very early age is crucial in the development of our children. It helps with their ability to understand words, use their imagination and develop their speech, as well as being something they really enjoy.
In Reception, the expectation is that the children read everyday. This can be a page a day, a sentence or a whole book!
