Reception Reading -how often ?

[narna]

Just curious,how often do you read your child's reading book with them?
TIA

We do it every week day, sometimes over weekend. Dd's school change books every day if read.

Depends. Used to do it every day but have slipped a bit recently. DD will sometimes read all her books (she gets a few at a time) and then other days doesn't want to read any. We can change her books when we want to.

DS only gets 1 or 2 books per week. He reads them twice normally. On the other nights I pull out either a book to read, one for me to read to him or both. Depends how tired we all are.

Average week, probably twice per week. DS is not that bothered and so I don't want to force it but is quite into his spellings so we concentrate on that.

he gets a bed time story every night though.

My DDs get a book every day and we read it every night.

We read to and with DD every night but we only get a book once a week from school (we read her home story books if there isn;t anyh from school).

Having said that, often she wont read the school books but will read the home ones (the school ones are boring according to her!)

My twins read every night, we have a game where we'll each read a page, but like the mum above, she refuses to read school books! I don't think this is a big deal though as all reading is education, right??

We read with him, and have him read to us every day.

At bed time he usually has two stories, one we take turns reading some of, and one that's purely for us to read to him as his bed time story.

He usualyl comes up to us at different times with a book that he wants us to rread to him, and we usually get him to read some of that too.

We read his school reading book when he gets it, usualy changed twice a week.

This might help?

Help Your Child to Read - A Guide to Understanding & Reinforcing School Teaching Methods at Home

This guide has been written by a parent for anybody who has children in Reception or Infant Classes at school. It includes an introduction to helping your child to read, an outline of methods of teaching reading in primary schools and suggestions of ways to reinforce these methods at home.Find it on hernhillforum.wordpress.com

Was this guide written by you, by any chance mizzmizz? You've made your first six posts today, all recommending the same site.

Yes, it was. We get no information from our school about how they teach reading, and I have searched the internet for a similar guide, but came up with nothing - so I wrote it myself to share with other parents at school. Then I thought it might be useful to others so decided to use mumsnet spread the word. Was this a wrong thing to do?

...and wanted to see if people thought it was helpful.

It helps to honest MizzMizz

incidentally the first page is on the BBC parents site {grin}

None of it is original - just put together in a way that I hope is accessible and useful.

I'm sure some parents will be very grateful
good luck

this was a site in your guide I hadn't stumbled across before - Easy novels for struggling readers.

Thanks. If DD ever makes a reading age of 7, I will def buy some books from there for her....

It's good advice actually, mizzmizz.

Thank you! If I have helped only one other parent, it was worth doing!x

Were you afraid we'd say it was rubbish if you took credit?

Didn't know what I was doing to be honest.

We read every day of the week. DD reads her book and then I either read or tell her a story. In the Holidays and weekends we read more. It is easy, because she loves books and stories.

school books once maybe twice(they get changed once a week)We read other books nearly everyday.

Try to aim for every day. Realistically more like 4 - 5 days a week. Gets a bedtime story from us every though.

Thanks MizzMizz, DS is in Reception and this guide is really useful

That's great - thank you!
