Lilac Book Parent Guide 2023
Hello Parents and Carers,
This is a video to help you understand how to read lilac books, that have no words, with your child at home. We will be sending these home with your child next week. We understand that some children can already read however, this is to support your child to find pleasure in reading and help with their comprehension (understanding) . Your child will take these home for around two weeks and then they will start to take home a reading book with words. Please make sure that you read the book that your child brings home at least three times a week for around 15 minutes. Please also make sure that your child brings their reading book to school everyday.

Chloe Savage, Author Visit
The youngest children at Stokes Wood enjoyed a visit by Chloe Savage who wrote the children’s book, The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish’.
They listened to the story and all about how Chloe became a writer. She then worked with 30 children and helped them develop their writing. The reception children really enjoyed the experience.
