Reading: Parent information session and workshop.
Parent Feedback
When asked ‘what was the main reason you decided to come along to this session today?’ you responded:
We asked, on a scale of 1-10, how confident you were about how to support your child as they learn to read.
At the start of the session, the average confidence level was 7.72.
When asked the same question again at the end of the session the average confidence level had risen to 9.22.

Going in to your child’s class to listen how shared reading is done. |
The presentations was informative (wish I had seen it when my child was younger). |
Learning how phonics is taught. |
Good ideas to help my child develop reading. |
Seeing the reading session. |
I found it very informative and hope I will find the website useful with the pronunciation of some of the sounds we struggle with at home. |
Able to ask questions |
It made the method of reading clearer. |
Matching sounds |

We asked for your suggestions for next time…
Your suggestion… |
Our response… |
Year specific, more time in classroom. |
We will seek to offer this through our class open afternoons. |
More sound matching and all kids having chance to read. |
Our shared reading sessions all differ slightly to ensure all children have the opportunity to flourish and practice their skills. |
Coffee or tea |
We try not to have hot drinks around where the children may be for health and safety reasons. Perhaps next time juice and biscuits could keep you refreshed. |
Send resources/links (eg videos) to parents |
These are all available as links through our school website. |
