I ♥ Take Home Readers!
Welcome to our Take Home Reader page! What are the Take Home Readers? These are the little books for the children to take home to read to their Mum and Dad at night before returning the books to the school. Network Educational Australia proudly provides the broadest range of Take Home Readers in Australia. All our Readers are levelled from 1 to 30. Children must read every night to be fluent readers and more importantly, to read for enjoyment as they will do well in later schooling with this essential skill.
There are three packs per level:
- 10 pack – this is a specific pack with name titles listed. These are selected specifically to give you a broad range of titles from lists - a and B.
- 20 pack – this is a specific pack with name titles listed. These are selected specifically to give you a broad range of titles from lists - a and B.
- Value pack – 20 of the above titles selected to give a broad range but discounted by up to 30%. Incredible value and by far the most popular purchase! We do not give specific names but select on interest and availability. A broad selection is always given!
Parents if you are not familiar with Reading recovery levelling of books, please read on! Reading level for books is extremely important – check with your child's teacher or get them to assess your child's reading level. It is not reading age but level – do not confuse the two!
There are 30 levels: 1-30. Level 1 is the simplest for beginners and the most complex is Level 30. Remember: you must buy the Readers that your child can read, NOT what they want as they will choose on interest which is usually way beyond their reading level. It is essential they practise and gain in confidence but choosing off-the-shelf books based on general interest or cover will be VERY counterproductive! Look at the images in the Buying Guide for samples of the text and match it with what your child is fluently reading – this will be a rough guide!
You can order online or if on the Gold Coast drop-in to our shop and select the levels which are suitable for your child. We look forward to hearing from you and being able to help with your reading selection.
