At Loughton School, we expect the children to be reading at least four times a week at home. This can be with an adult, sibling or independently if your child is a confident reader. It will be the children’s responsibility to show their log to their class teacher that they have been reading at home. This will allow us to see how often your child is reading at home, as well as the type of books your child is reading. Please encourage your children to read a range of fiction and non-fiction books. Your child will also have the opportunity to comment and rate the book they are reading too.

Each week that your child reads at home on at least 4 occasions will earn them a raffle ticket in the class jar. A ticket is pulled out half termly and the winning child gets to choose and place an order for a book prize of their choice from our catalogues. The more raffle tickets your child earns, the more likely they are to be in with a chance of winning.

Raffle ticket winners will be announced below at the end of each half term.
