How to best support with Reading at home

The best way to support your child to become a lifelong reader is to read every day and a range of different text types, including fiction, non fiction and poetry. When reading with your child it is importance to ask questions to support their understanding of the text. There are a range of printable resources at home to support with questioning and comprehension.
