Reading at Erasmus Darwin Academy

Reading at Erasmus Darwin Academy

Dear Parent / Carer,

Please find on this page ‘A Guide to Reading at Erasmus Darwin Academy’, recommended reading lists and information on how to access ‘Accelerated Reader’ and ‘Libresoft’ from home. I am sending this out to you as we know that the partnership between home and school is a vital element in ensuring students make the best possible progress. Reading for pleasure is the most important activity your child can do to improve their achievement in school. I am certain you will all want to support your child to achieve this.

‘A Guide to Reading at Erasmus Darwin Academy’ outlines how reading is embedded into our curriculum and highlights how you can further support this outside of school. The recommended reading lists give suggested book titles which students can borrow from the school library.  Accelerated Reader and Libresoft are online tools that are used in school and can be accessed from home.

In addition, if your child has borrowed any books from the school library during lockdown / summer holiday, could you please ensure that these are returned by Monday 21^st September 2020.

If you have any queries or questions related to any of this information, please do not hesitate to get in touch at e.tomlinson@eda.staffs.sch.uk.

Many thanks for your continued support.

Yours faithfully,

Miss E Tomlinson

(Lead Teacher of English – Development Stage & Literacy and Oracy Co-ordinator)
