Shared Reading
The concept of shared reading involves the teacher sharing a text with the children and the lesson having specific objectives
Guided Reading
The children during guided reading will read as part of a focussed group and practise and reinforce the skills taught in a shared reading session.
The guided reading books are graded to ensure progression in both fiction and non-fiction reading skills and give the children exposure to a wide variety of text types and topics.
How to help your child at home Early Years
Encourage an early interest in books by reading a wide range: rhyming stories, poetry books, non-fiction books, number books
Use “book language” – title, page, cover, word, front cover, letter, picture
Encourage your child to handle books carefully and correctly, turning the pages properly and joining in with the story
Develop ‘favourite’ books to enable your child to fully participate in the story, rhyme, poem
Point (on occasions) to the text to develop an understanding that text carries meaning
Create opportunities for your child to retell the story
How to help your child at home Key Stage 1
Learning to read can be challenging for some children and to encourage your child always be as positive as possible
Find suitable times in the day
Encourage your child to use these strategies for working out unfamiliar words:
Sound out the initial letter of the word Push your sound buttons – segment and blend, eg: cat shop three Read to the end of the sentence to help you find out what a word could be Look at the length of the word Use the picture for clues
Discuss the story characters and plot
Predict the ending
Re-tell the story
Answer simple questions about the story
How to help your child at home Later in Key Stage 2
As your child becomes more fluent you should encourage an interest in a wide range of books. Visits to the Library are important and finding non-fiction books to support topic work is very useful
Encourage prediction
Silent reading
Finding favourite authors
Develop skimming and scanning for quick retrieval of information
Read comics/newspapers
Develop a love of particular genre: Historical novels Science Fiction/Adventure Stories Humorous stories Sport
Answer more complex questions eg: with regard to characters’ emotions and motives
What to keep doing
• Read to and with your child • Visit the Library • Allow your child to read their own
choice of book • Be a good role model • Encourage a daily reading time
WRITING IN THE EARLY YEARS
With each hand in air, draw imaginary bubbles of different sizes as they float up Trace circles in the air with two hands held together. Follow hand movements with eyes only. Keep head still. Keep lips and teeth together
Screw up scrap paper (enthusiastically). Straighten them out (without using anything to rest on or the other hand)
And the greatest tip ever!
