Supporting Reading

Research shows that your interest and involvement in your child’s learning and education is more important than anything else in helping your child fulfil their potential. As parents, you are the people who go with your child on their learning journey, from the day they are born to the time they become an adult.

You, as the parent, carer or guardian know your child best. These leaflets give ideas and suggestions for you to choose from – you will know which ones suit you, your child and the school. All of the ideas in the leaflet have been developed by parents and can be used with, or adapted for, both primary and secondary age children and young people.

A guide to supporting reading for parents of secondary school children.

Looking for ideas for presents for your children?  Why not buy them a book? 

Have a look at our reading lists compiled by Julia Eccleshare, the Children’s editor at The Guardian.  For every £100 spent by parents through our school’s account, Lovereading will provide £5 worth of book vouchers to build the school library
