They can be adapted to reflect how your school prefers to deliver and support literacy at Key Stages 1 and 2. You can include additional pages on a particular aspect of reading; phonics for example.
Reading records and diaries underline the importance of allowing pupils to choose their own materials. In addition to those on the reading curriculum as well. This allows them to develop an enjoyment of reading. Identifying areas of progression for teachers if a child has a persisting pattern in their chosen reading materials.
