Reading Newsletters
To keep up to date on all of our reading challenges and fun, check out our half termly Reading Newsletters below.
Individual Reading
At least once a week your child will be listened to as they read by the class teacher or teaching assistant. We have a range of Fiction and Non-Fiction books which the children choose. The children will be asked questions to check their understanding of the book. We like to write comments in the children’s reading records and we encourage parents to write comments in these books when they have heard their child read too. Reading books are only changed when we think the child fully understands the book they are reading, We use a range of reading schemes to support individual Reading such as:
Guided Reading
As well as individual reading at least once a week, teachers also listen to children read during Guided Reading. These are daily Guided Reading sessions where the children read a range of books, both fiction and non-fiction to their class teacher. The children complete a range of activities during their daily Guided Reading sessions, and spend 1 session a week reading with the Class Teacher. We have a range of reading schemes for Guided Reading to ensure we offer our children a breadth of reading material. These include:
Intergen
We are proud to work with a charity called Intergen which facilitates retired / elderly people coming into school to read with the children. They form great relationships and allow children to be heard reading regularly.
