📚 Phonics and Reading
Students who are learning phonics, Reception, Year 1 and some students in Year 2 and Year 3 have started to bring home an additional ‘Book Bag Book’. These are carefully matched to the phonics content of the storybooks read in their phonics lessons. Please ensure these are returned to their class teacher every Wednesday. Your child will be given a new book every Thursday.
More information about our early reading scheme, Read Write Inc, can be found here.
We will be hosting parent information sessions on the following dates this half term:
- Year 1 Phonics Screening Check: Friday 6th February 3:10 - 3:50pm
- Reception Early Reading: Friday 6th February 8:45 - 9:30am
🏰 Share a Story
At ODA, we know how important reading is and would love to celebrate a culture of reading within our school. Each Friday, we invite parents/carers and siblings of our Reception students to join us for a short story time, 8:20-8:35am in the Reception Classrooms.
