For those who have limited access to reading material at home, please feel free to use one or more of the following resources to support your child's home reading:
- Reading Eggspress offers a library of online books. This is great for providing a variety of Fiction and Non-Fiction options to your child/ren.
- You can read aloud to your child or share the reading with your child, if the text is too hard for them to read and get them to retell the story based on their understanding of what they have heard and understood.
- Storyline Online: This resource is based in the US but has a great collection of stories being read by movie and T.V. actors! https://www.storylineonline.net/
- This is a phonics-based website that offers free pdf books focused on certain phonemic sounds. https://www.speld-sa.org.au/services/phonic-books.html
