Room on the Broom.
One of Reception’s favorite stories is Room on the Broom. Listen to Hallie retelling the story, she is 4 Years Old.
Listen to our Reception Readers.
Here is one of our Reception children predicting what the story is about, reading fluently and using expression.
Here is one of our Reception children blending securely and thoroughly enjoying reading.
Blending
Reception children need to know their letter sounds before they are able to start to blend for reading. When they start to blend, they will say each letter sound and hear the word they are saying to blend it together. Watch one of our Reception children blending.
