Date quick links

Weekly Reading Folder Books
Oxford Reading Tree Series

Every week your child will read with our Reading Assistant. She helps to monitor the students' reading abilities and progress.  As your child progresses, they will move up levels in the Oxford Reading Tree series.

 

Each week, your child will receive a new book with another worksheet, which will be due in class the following class.  

 

In addition to the assigned books, it is essential that students read as much as possible in English.  It helps to improve syntax, vocabulary and spelling.  Besides, the world of  books is a wonderful place!
