Home Reading

We are happy to introduce our brand new reading app: Oxford Reading Owl.

This will provide a replacement for our reading books within school until we are able to send them home again. This is a fantastic app that acts as an online library for your child, allowing them to access a range of books that are specific to the level at which they are at.

Below is the information you will need to log in for EYFS, KS1 and KS2. You should have received these letters home as paper copies with your child’s reading level on too. If you wish to check your child’s reading level, please contact the school office.

To access Oxford Reading Owl:

Please log on and select which book you would like your child to read from the level that has been provided by school.

After your child has finished reading you will be able to complete the reading record which is available on Purple Mash.

This will allow staff to monitor the home reading and provide feedback if needed.

The staff will be checking this on a weekly basis.

To find the reading journal on Purple Mash, please follow the steps below:

· Purple Mash
· Log in – Search ‘Reading Journal’ (Select the one appropriate for your child’s age)
· Record reading
· Save

Again we appreciate that not all children have access to devices which allow them to access apps online. If this is the case, please continue to read with them at home. Reading can take place in any form, reading books, when you are out and about or in the house e.g. reading street signs or following a recipe!
