Each week the children read in a small group three times a week with an adult. Through careful assessments, each half term, Children are allocated a decodable reading book to match their phonic knowledge. These sessions enable children to:
read easily and fluently with good understanding.
make sense of what they have read.
build on what they already know.
give them a desire to want to read.
develop the habit of reading widely and often.
acquire a wide vocabulary, an understanding of grammar.
The children also enjoy story time as a whole class. They are learning about fiction and non fiction books and the meaning of the words author and illustrator.
All children choose a book from our library which they keep in their draw and can read or share when they have choosing time.
