Reading in Year 3 - My Book Blog
Reading in Year 3 – My Book Blog
Dear Parents and carers,
Over the last week, the children have been exploring My Book Blog. This is an online reading scheme, already used by Y3 - 6, which gives the children access to a number of fantastic activities that compliment their reading book. There are plenty of tasks to complete such as vocabulary, comprehension and blogs, before moving onto the next part of the book. There are also fantastic facts relating to their book to learn. All the activities relate to the book that they are reading and it can be used at home and in school.
In school, the children will be given a half-hour slot each day to read their book and update their own My Book Blog. They will be also be expected to complete reading and Book Blog tasks at home too.
At home, there are a few things I would like you to do during the next week.
Firstly, log on to My Book Blog by accessing it via the school website and following these simple instructions.
- Select ‘Pupils’ at the top of the page.
- Scroll down and click on ‘My Book Blog’
- Click on the underlined hyperlink ‘here’ at the bottom of the information
- Select ‘Mr Tinkler Class’ and ‘Child’s Name’
- Input your individual password e.g. Pink Shark 7 (your child has their password)
Next, please help your child with their reading and have a go at some of the activities mentioned above. The children already have one book on their shelf. Do not read Stone Age Boy as this is a class reader. Children should aim to access My Book Blog at least 3 times per week from home. This initial support will help them use the site more independently in the near future.
When in school, I will be able to see what tasks the children have completed at home, and we can discuss and address any issues that you may come across when we are in the classroom. I am hoping to be fully up and running for next half term so this is plenty of time to get used to the new system.
Thank you so much for your support with this new adventure.
Yours sincerely
Mr Tinkler
