Stories and activities for parents
Assessment guide for parents If you’re unsure whether your child needs a little extra support with their reading, we’ve designed an assessment tool for you to try at home. It’s important to get a good sense of your child’s reading skills before you do the activities with them. We’ll show you how to check your child’s reading level with the assessment guide. There’s also a how-to video on how to use it. | |
