Dear Parents and carers,
As a school we have subscribed to Collins Big Cat ebooks. This gives teachers access to over 1000 reading books online, including 256 fully decodable phonics ebook readers aligned to Letters and Sounds, our phonics programme.
Your child’s teacher will assign them access to books at an appropriate reading level. Linked to each book there are resources and ideas to encourage comprehension skills for home-learning activities. Some of the books can be quizzed on Accelerated Reader and a list will be available in KS2 classrooms for children to check against.
Please click here on the parent’s guide to find out how to access your child’s account at home.
Please note the Collins eBooks app is available for iOS from the App Store and for android devices on the Google Play Store. The app is free to download, and you can log in using the same details.
When using the app, you can download books to your device, after which you can then access them without needing to be connected to the internet.
If you have any problems please ask class teachers or email [email protected] and they will forward the email to me.
Mrs Jackson
English Lead
Will they still be bringing home normal books along side this?
Hi
Yes they will still be continuing with the EYFS and KS1 reading scheme.
Thanks
