Becoming involved with the school will enable both parents and children to benefit from the learning opportunities at Tatworth School.
We run workshops and information evenings throughout the year to show parents how subjects are taught and to help them help their children at home.
All children benefit from reading, the more a child reads the more fluent they will become, which in turn will help them later in life – both at secondary school and on into the workplace. They may also develop a love of reading that will give them pleasure throughout their lives. Please listen to your child read daily.

We encourage parents to have regular reading sessions with their children at home as this will install a love of learning and aid progression in all areas of school life.
From the Summer Term 2021 we will be introducing chapters of stories chosen by class teachers on our assemblies channel on TEAMS.
Read Write Inc
This may be accessed via TEAMS where Reception and Years 1 and 2 children will be able to access videos to help them recognise sounds. The more they practice they will recognise the sounds they know quickly and be able to spot them within words. All children bring home a storybook, the sounds that relate to the book brought home are identified by the same colour as the book. Reading the storybooks repeatedly will help them build fluency which will support their comprehension.
