Reading With Your Child

At Clapham Terrace we believe that reading is one of the most important life skills that children can learn.

Although we provide all children with reading opportunities daily in school through individual, group or whole class sessions, it is vital that they are also reading at home a minimum of three times a week.  We really appreciate your support with this.  We’re often asked how best you can help your child with reading and felt that the best thing to do would be to show you.

With the help of Matt Katz, we have created these short video clips where our talented (and brave) teachers will demonstrate how to support children with reading at all stages of their development.
