I will be reading Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown and if your child has a copy it would be great if they could read along with me. I will then set activities based around the book.
If your child does not have a copy, do not worry because there will be other reading based tasks in the general reading folder.
The big reading message from me is to keep on reading.
