Please return the books before taking a new one!
Along with the books, there are a range of different ways you can support or read with your child. Below are some prompts that can focus the way you read at home. You can choose what type of reading, or your child may be sent home with a card and a particular book so you know how you can support their reading with this text.
Ask a teacher if you're not sure which box to get the books from.
HOME READING
Purpose of this
book: Fluency
and expression
This book should be easy to read.
I will try to:
- · Make my voice sound like talking
- · Read smoothly – not too fast, not too slow
- · Stop at the full stops
- · Read with expression – make my voice go up and down, loud and soft
- · Make it sound interesting
Purpose of this
book: To
practise using my reading strategies to work out new words This book should be instructional for me (at
my reading level). When I get stuck at a word I will:
- · Go back to the start of the sentence
- · Look in the picture for clues
- · Think of what will make sense and sound right
- · Stretch the sounds out across a word
- · Look for parts of the word I already know
- · Reread and check if it makes sense, and also check that it sounds right and looks right
Purpose of this
book: Comprehension
This book could be easy, instructional (at
my reading level) or a book that an adult reads to me. At the end of
the book I will try to:
- · Retell the story
- · Answer some recall questions (who, what, when, where, why, how)
- · Answer some inferential questions (why, what if… how do we know… could…)
- · Talk about my own experiences that relate to the story
Purpose of this
book: Increase
knowledge about a topic
This book is hard so I need an adult to read it to me. Together we
can:
- · Talk about what I already know about this topic
- · Discuss the pictures, labels and diagrams
- · Talk about the facts
- · Ask and answer questions about the topic
- · Talk about how it relates to my own experiences
