Banded reading books
Please bring your reading book in everyday. An adult will listen to you read throughout the week and your book will be changed regularly.
We expect your child to read their book a number of times, in order to develop their fluency, which includes automatic word recognition, smoothness, expression, pace and intonation. We want them to "read it like they mean it!" It is also very helpful to ask your child questions about their text, including retrieval questions (what, when, who) and inference questions (looking for clues - why do you think...? how do you know....?)
Even if your child is able to read silently in their head, they should also regularly practise reading aloud to you, to develop their fluency.
If you have any questions about any of this, please email the office.
