Reading
Sharing Books with your child
If you would like to have some suggestions on the type of questions to ask when sharing books with your child then click on the Document Library on the lefthand side and check out the document called Creative Thinking Questions. Some of these will need to be adapted depending on the age of your child but should help develop your child's level of understanding. There is so much more to books than "hearing your child read" and these questions will help get the most out of the time spent sharing books.
Reading Progression
If you would like to know more about progress in reading, the expectations of your child and the stages they should go through then in the Document Library you will find a folder called Reading Progress. In there are a set of 15 different stages of development that the children should work through from the beginning of Key Stage 1 to the end of key Stage 2. The numbered sheets are purely to show order and do not reflect age or levels.
If you would like further help and advice on reading with your child then try the National Literacy Trust site.
