Reading Library
Welcome to our Online Reading Library!
Both the children and staff in Nursery love reading, hearing and sharing stories. Therefore, we have decided to create our own online reading library. This is where all of our staff can share their favourite stories with the children at home. We are definitely going to miss seeing the children and want to try and stay in contact as much as possible so please get your little ones watching these videos! If your child has any recommendations on the stories they would like to hear/see please email these through to earlyyearshomelearning@hucknallfha.co.uk and we will try our best to get the story posted!
Also, if we have any parents/grandparents who are willing to send us a video in we would hugely appreciate adding these to our library. It would be great to get as many stories as possible on here read by a variety of people. I know the children in Nursery would love to see everyone getting involved!
Please follow the video and guidance for access to Oxford Owl - Free online eBooks to share and read at home.
