Dear Parents and Guardians

Please take note of the following

Dear Foundation Phase Parents & Guardians

​Did you know that reading is the superpower behind success in Maths, Science, and everyday life? It opens up a whole new world of creativity and positive curiosity!!
When our little ones read well, their confidence skyrockets and school becomes an exciting adventure! ✨
​We can’t do this alone. We need Team Parents and Team School to join forces. 🤝 Here is how you can spark a love for reading at home in just a few minutes a day:

​🌟 5 Simple Ways to Raise a Reader:
1️⃣ Read together daily: Make it a cozy bedtime routine.
2️⃣ Listen to them read: Let them read aloud from their school book or card. Give lots of praise! 🎉
3️⃣ Talk about the story: Ask fun questions like, "What do you think happens next?"
4️⃣ Read anything: Books, magazines, or even grocery brochures, it all builds skills!
5️⃣ Create a reading nook: Grab a special "reading blanket" and snuggle up. 🧸
​📝 Your Daily Mission:
Please listen to your child’s reading lesson every day and sign their reading card. This helps us track their progress and support them early if they struggle.
​📊 Know the Targets!
Check out the image below 👇 to see the Reading Fluency Benchmarks (Words Per Minute) for each grade and term.
​Fun challenge: Test your child at home to see where they are at! Knowing these targets keeps us on track for big school and future success. 🎓
​Thank you for being such a valuable part of your child's learning journey. Together, let’s make sure every learner at Roodepoort Primary reads with confidence and joy! 💙
​Warm regards,
Roodepoort Primary Foundation Phase
