Reading

Hello, and welcome to the support for reading at home page!

 

On this page you will find lots of ways to support your child with  reading at home.  These websites are mostly free to use, although for some, you may need to register.

 

At Northlands, every child has access to Purple Mash.  The Purple Mash App has many different activities for your child to try; activities are fun and educational!  Serial Mash contains lots of stories for all ages, which you and your child can read for free! Your child can use Purple Mash when they activate their account from an invitation sent to their school email.   

 

Below, there are lots of other websites and external links which you can also use to support your child's learning at home.

 

Happy reading!
