home-school communication. They all contain reading vocabulary
checklists and structured fill in pages asking parents to note
specific points concerning the child's reading at home. Other pages
are completed by the teacher and give parents information specific
to the child. The inclusive language and the infant typeface used
in My reading record for Key Stage 1 will help children to
participate as parents and other helpers complete the book with
them. The record pages allow ample space for children to place a
sticker or a smiley face beside the adult's entry in the record -
so that they feel involved and can make the book their own. General
notes explain the importance of reading at home, briefly explain
the book banding system and outline the priorities for children's
reading at Key Stage 1.
