Dear Parent,

The Read With Me Program is designed to encourage and reward children for regular reading at home. This program begins today and it is proudly jointly sponsored by our school and through P & C bookclub.  It is important for children to be read to, read with and also to read independently. 

Your child is asked to enter the date, title of the book read and sign. If your child is reading a larger book over a period of time, pages read can be indicated. Children can read books from home, library books or home-readers. (Note: K-2 home-readers will be sent home in the coming weeks. For now K-2 children can read any books from home or the library).

We ask that each parent signature represents 15 minutes of reading for Kindergarten, Years 1 & 2 OR 20 minutes of reading for Years 3, 4, 5 & 6.

For each 25 entries the teacher signs. 

When your child has read on 100 occasions, he/she will select a book as a reward. 

Note: Only one entry per day is allowed/ counted. Entries can only begin from today 5/2/24 . A new book must be started each year. 

Dates for rewards will be as follows:

From 15/5/24- 100 days of reading

From 23/8/24- 200 days of reading

From 1/12/24- 300 days of reading

The last day for reading/earning a book prize will be 4 December. After this the program will end and no more book prizes will be awarded. 

Regular home reading is very beneficial and we encourage your support of the program.
