The school has bought 'Rocker Box' as a reading homework. Children from Year 2 have a username and password to undertake a regular comprehension exercise. Teacher will monitor usage and scores, following up areas for improvement in guided reading sessions.
Access is via this portal:
Rockerbox Student Portal (myrockerbox.com)
From January - Year 5 and 6 pupils will be expected to undertake a weekly exercise. Failure to do so will mean loss of playtime.
