We are delighted to tell you that our school will begin trialling Oxford Reading Buddy from next week.

This is a digital reading service to support children’s reading development at home as well as at school.

Oxford Reading Buddy contains hundreds of digital books and book-quizzes all matched to each child’s reading ability. Children can earn badges for good reading behaviours, be coached in their understanding by their personal ‘Reading Buddy’, take quizzes and record all the reading they do. Everything is captured so that your child’s teacher can see how they’re getting on.

Please log in to Oxford Reading Buddy when your child brings home their sign-in card and have a look around. Do encourage your child to use it regularly and discuss what they are reading with them. You might be interested in watching them reading one or two of the Coaching eBooks because Reading Buddy is a good model of how to support and encourage children’s comprehension skills as they read.

Please note: for your child to use this service, their teacher will need to register them as a user. Registering with these providers requires student personal information to be disclosed to the provider of the service. Registration for this includes disclosing the following information about your child: First Name & Initial (of Surname) Year Group, Class Teacher

If you do not wish for your child to use this service please email your child’s teacher to advise them that you do not want your child participating in this trial.
