Reading Information Evening
January 2017
2
Why Reading? Reading with your child is vital
Research shows that it’s the single most important thing you can do to help your child’s education
3
When do they start reading?
Before they start school Sharing books – any type of book! (first word dictionaries, picture books, story books….any book! Recognising signs and symbols Listening to a story Nursery rhymes
4
Foundation Stage When children first come into FS we can tell which children have been read to, have shared stories and taken part in imaginative play and discussions These children have good vocabulary, are more articulate and show a good understanding of the spoken word
5
By Year 6 We can tell the children who are still reading, sharing stories, discussing the text by their excellent vocabulary, their ability to infer and understand what they have read at a higher level These are the children who are still articulate and can express themselves and have an excellent vocabulary and understanding

Before I go any further……
We are more than aware that parents as well as children have busy lives We are not asking you to spend every spare moment reading with your child but hope to help you make reading at home fun and manageable

The key stage 1 and 2 divide!
Be honest - when your child can read most things you put in front of them (this usually starts happening in Y3) who thinks, “oh well they don’t need to read as much?” This is when they really need you to help to understand what they have read as the vocabulary is getting more difficult-it’s about comprehending what they have read After this fluency by Helen
18
Getting the balance Reading v computer games
Why do more girls achieve in reading? Reading the school book or sharing a story? Mum or Dad? Discussing what they have read Discussions about current affairs Finding the time
19
But do they understand? Just because your child can read this does not mean they understand and comprehend Developing vocabulary Inference Characters Plot Predicting Y3 comprehension
