StoryTime Online!

With access to libraries, classrooms and bookshops limited for many, we've been busy finding some of the best online storytimes for children to access freely at home. The QR codes and links in the website above link to story readings on Youtube and all of the books we've chosen are read aloud by their fabulous authors and illustrators.

First News have been sending us electronic copies of their awarding winning newspaper as they are not able to deliver it to us right now. Mrs Reese has been sending it home to you via Parentmail each week so ask your grownups if you haven't seen a copy yet.

Ask your grownups to complete a simple registration form for free on this brilliant site to help you develop your reading. After a simple registration process, you will take a placement test and then are given short texts suited to your reading ability from a variety of genres. You then take quizzes on these texts: scores below 70% mean that your next text will be a bit easier; scores from 70%-89% mean your level stays the same; and scores of 90% or higher will lead to a harder text.
