Daily Essentials

Regularly discuss what you are reading with an adult and ask questions. Look up words that you do not know in a dictionary. The National Oak Academy now have a Virtual School Library. Every week a popular children's author or illustrator will provide you with free books, exclusive videos and their top three recommended reads. Why not try and read one book each week. https://library.thenational.academy/ https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ - Also has e-books that you can read for free.
