Year 1's reading passport shows the recommended books the children can read to promote the love of reading, enhance their imaginations and introduce them to new vocabulary.
The reading passport will cover year 1 and year 2. The books on the reading passport are the recommended books for you to read to your child. Once read, your child, with your help, can write about the story.
Once all the books have been read and your child has made comments on the stories, bring the passport back into school and your child will receive a prize.
Top marks and ICT games are free and the children can play educational games.
