1 Reading Meeting January 2016

2 Aims: Explain how we teach reading
What you can do to support your child Opportunity for you to ask questions/ share ideas

3 Developing reading skills
READING FOR ENJOYMENT Comprehension Applying skills of decoding Guided Reading- answering questions with precision Class read aloud texts KS1 Decoding (phonics and other strategies) Recognition of common exception words Phonics continues in KS2 where needed KS2- Increasing vocabulary Linking with spelling patterns

4 Do I need to read with my child once they can ‘read’?
We’re very aware that work needs to continue to help children develop reading skills even when they become more confident decoders. The best approach is to combine reading to your child, asking them to read independently and a mixture (e.g. you read a page, they read a page) You need to check they are understanding how to read with attention to punctuation. Reading together helps children make that bridge towards rewarding independent reading. Also, asking children to be the ‘expert’ and read to younger siblings or cousins can be powerful. What role do you have when children are reading independently? How can you manage this in terms of time?

5 Decoder Encourage children to use a combination of the following strategies- Phonic knowledge – both segmenting and blending sounds Think of a possible meaning by reading on to the end of the sentence Breaking words down into known parts. Does it look like any word I know already? Use diagrams/picture clues if appropriate Read text together before re-reading independently Tell me (or write down while reading) a word you weren’t sure of the meaning of……. Let’s look that word up in the dictionary.

6 Reading detective Tell me more about………… Explain why……………
What do you think about …? If you were the character what would you do / say / think / feel …? Explain your views on … What might that character write in their diary that night after all that had happened? How would the other character have re-told that event from their point of view? What do you predict is going to happen next? Why do you think that?

7 Responder What is the story about?
What is the theme of the story / text? Did you like this story? Give reasons. What did the character(s) learn from the story? How have the characters changed? Who is the advert trying to persuade? Can you tell what the author thinks?

8 Comprehender How / what / where / when questions. (What colour was the boy’s dog? In what year did the ship set sail?) Put these events in order. Who is telling the story? What was the first thing that happened? What happened next? What happened before / after …? What is the purpose of this writing and who is the audience? How do you know that this is a letter / dictionary / glossary / poetry / cartoon strip etc.?

9 Big reader How is this similar to other books by this author?
Does this author’s style remind you of any other authors? How can we tell this book was set in (Roman) times? Can you think of another story which has a similar theme; e.g. good over evil; weak over strong; wise over foolish? Where there is a different cultural setting - where is the story set? What are the features of this setting e.g. language, environment or attitudes? How is the heroine/hero in this story similar to others you have read about?

10 Language lover Why did the author choose that word?
What effect does that word have? Can you find a word that means the same as …? As a reader, how do you feel about...? How has the author created this feeling? Tell me a word that you liked………………….

11 Balance of reading material
Newspapers/magazines (national geographic, first news, Beano! Match of the Day) Screens- kindle, Kobo Apps (Mr Thorne, Pocket Phonics, teach your monster to read, comic life,) Non fiction- especially linked to themes being studied at school Out of school book clubs (local library will put together sets of books)
