In KS2, Guided Reading happens every day at the same time as Phonics. As many children will be new to the format, we will begin simply, by embedding a least one Reading Vipers skill a day (below).
Children, remember that reading is the single most important thing you can do for your education. At St Georges we aim to foster a love of reading with our children. Our guided reading sessions as well as daily story time are really enjoyed by children. Parents and carers, please, please listen to your child read every night if you can - it is one of the best things that you can do to support their learning.
Children will have two books to take home with them from school - one colour-coded book which has been chosen according to their reading level, and a Reading for Pleasure book they have chosen themselves from the Book Corner.
Your child should have access a wide range of reading texts to inspire and challenge them on their reading journey. Your local library is free to join, and you can borrow books for FREE! Audiobooks are great too, and Youtube has lots of story books for your child to enjoy. Click on the links below to access a range of titles:
www.oxfordowl.co.uk is great for online books and it is free to register a home account.
