We are delighted to share an exciting new initiative launching this academic year at Halfway Houses Primary School: our Reading Passports.

 

Each Reading Passport contains a carefully curated selection of nine rich and diverse texts tailored to your child’s age group. These books have been chosen to broaden and deepen your child’s reading experience, introducing them to a wide range of voices, cultures, and storytelling styles. Many of the titles have been handpicked by our passionate class teachers, who are eager to share their love of reading with their pupils.

 

While participation is optional and additional to the reading curriculum, we hope that every child will be inspired to take part. The books will be available to borrow from school, and as each one is completed, class teachers will stamp the passport to celebrate the achievement. We kindly ask for your support in ensuring that any books borrowed by your child are returned promptly, so they can be enjoyed by all members of our school community.

 

At the end of the school year, children who complete their Reading Passport will be rewarded with recognition of their Graduation from our Reading School on display for all to see!

 

We’re incredibly excited to see the children enjoying these stories, discussing them with their friends and teachers, and discovering new favourites along the way. Thank you for your continued support in nurturing a love of reading at home and at school.

 

If you do have any questions, please reach out to your child’s Class Teacher via Class Dojo.

 

Best wishes,

 

Miss Gardner

Assistant Headteacher
