We LOVE reading at Irk Valley especially in Year 1L. In our classroom we have a lovely reading city filled with a variety of fiction and non-fiction books for the children to read. We ensure to listen to each child read at school frequently and aim to change their reading book at least once a week but we find it incredibly important for the children to read at home too. It would be fantastic if you could spend 10 minutes each night to continue their passion for reading at home!
