DEAR

DEAR; Drop Everything and Read (Children read for 10-15 mins)

Children can read anything they want to here. Ebooks are available at the link below.

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/?view=image&query=&type=book&age_group=Age+7-9&level=&level_select=&book_type=&series=#

If you click this link you can register for hundreds of free e-books suitable for your child’s level. Reading is probably the most important thing your child could be doing! I have selected the age group 7-9 but feel free to select which one you feel your child would be most suited for. They also have them graded by level; your child should have a fair idea of what level they are on in school.
