| Starting at Marchwood Junior School - How you can Help |
Before your child joins us you will have already done a great deal to help him/her to learn. Our colleagues at Marchwood Infant School, or your child’s previous school, will have further developed these abilities and established good home/school relationships.
When your child starts with us please continue to help by giving time for your child to talk about school. Continue to read to your child even when he/she has made a start for him/herself as this will develop an interest in books. You will be asked to join our "Shared Reading" scheme that will involve home and school.
Read to your child, read with him/her and allow him/her to read to you. Try to make reading a regular, happy, cosy activity. It is the quality rather than the sheer quantity of experience which counts. Encourage him/her to use libraries so that reading is not only associated with school. |
