I have few shares of barclyas and tesco through sharecentre. However I do not receive any communication form tesco or barclays directly as a shareholder should. If I want such a service, how should I buy shares?

These days, all Shares are held in 'Nominee Accounts' by Broker ... this allows thousands of shares to be held 'electronically' in a single account but to be 'owned' by thousands of customers .... and allows Companies to send one set of documents to the Broker rather than sending thousands of communications to individual customers...
IF you want direct communication, you have to get you name onto the Share Register .. this means (as you suggest) buying shares directly from the Company (at least for those who offer a share dealing service = not all do), rather than via a Broker
OR (for shareholders who have large amount to invest) open your own Nominee Account in that Company.
(In the old days, you could ask your Broker for an actual Share Certificate = that would have got your name onto the Company Share Register, however I believe these days the actual Certificates are no longer issued)

If you are a shareholder of common/ordinary stocks, then you should contact those companies' share/stock holder centers and request for them to send you reports for shareholders. Alternatively, you could just check their websites and click on the shareholder links.
Also, make sure they have your banking details so that they can deliver any dividends to you; otherwise, you could always reinvest your dividends, rather than receive cash/check dividend payouts.

Penny stocks are loosely categorized companies with share prices of below $5 and with market caps of under $200 million. They are sometimes referred to as "the slot machines of the equity market" because of the money involved. There may be a good place for penny stocks in the portfolio of an experienced, advanced investor, however, if you follow this guide you will learn the most efficient strategies https://tr.im/c8109
