Supporting Reading at Home

At St Mayr’s, we recognise the importance of teachers and parents/ carers working together to give children the best start in life. Regularly reading at home with your child is one of the best and most important ways in which you can help them! It will enable them develop their language and communication skills, broaden their vocabulary knowledge and understanding of the wider world as well as boosting their reading confidence. Below you will find some useful tips and advice on how you can help to support your child with reading at home.
