Reading and Spelling

Reading at Oakfield

We know that most parents are only too willing to be involved with their child’s education, but perhaps have not always been sure about how to go about it.

We really value a close partnership in which parents and teachers work closely together, so that parents become familiar with the methods used to teach reading in school. This close partnership will also help teachers know of any difficulties that arise at home.

Most importantly the children will benefit enormously from knowing that parents and teachers are working together.

Staff at Oakfield will continue to spend a great deal of time teaching reading skills, but parents also play an important part. The more practice children get and the more they enjoy their reading, the more likely it is that they will become good readers.
