Reading
Reading is fundamental to all children's education. In Lower Key Stage 2, we will be focusing on a range of key skills including retrieving and recording information, summarising main ideas, drawing inferences, predicting what might happen next, explaining the meaning of words in context and discussing, expressing and justifying views about a wide range of texts.
In addition to the reading that your child will engage with at school, they are expected to read at home at least four times a week and should record their reflection in their reading record. Although your child will be more independent with their reading, it is important that you engage in discussions with their reading and on a regular basis, still listen to them read. As a school, we celebrate and recognise how often your child reads using our 'Reading Around the Universe' initiative.
Your child is responsible for changing their own book once they have completed it. Please can you work with us to encourage your child to choose books from a variety of genres and authors.
