Good Evening,

We have had a couple of queries regarding the Read Write Inc ebooks that are set each week so I just wanted to give a little reminder about what they are and where you can access them.

The ebooks that we set are different to the Read Write Inc books that we send home. The ebooks are the same book as the one we read in school with children with the intention that children can develop their fluency (ability to read without segmenting into sounds) and confidence with a text that they are familiar with.

The ebook can be accessed via the Oxford Owl website. Each child has been given a login and they can be accessed anytime. If you need a reminder of your child’s login details I am able to access them and can send them home either digitally or as a paper copy.

Ebooks will usually be set weekly although this can change depending on how we feel the children are coping. If it is a challenging book or we have been unable to read it in school everyday then we may read the same book for a couple of weeks. If the children are reading the book confidently and have a good understanding of the text then we may decide to move them on a little quicker.

The ebooks are designed to be read in conjunction with the physical books that are sent home each week. The recommendation is that a child in EYFS and KS1 reads for 10 minutes each day and we would advise reading each book on alternate days.

Reading at home is vital to a child’s development and can have a huge impact on their reading progress so we thank you for your continued support in this area.

If you have any queries regarding either home reading or the ebooks then please do not hesitate to contact me.
