children at KS2.
SLIDE 11

SLIDE 14
Ask your child about what has happened in the story
- Good readers do not remember the exact
words of the text, they remember the ‘gist’
- In order to retell a story , you have to pick out
the important parts (summarise) and put them into your own words (synthesise)
SLIDE 15
Use the NEW words
- Encourage your child to use the language of
the story they have been reading.
SLIDE 16
Good readers ask questions
- When we read we make predictions, ask
- urselves questions about the text and then
look for the answer.
- It is more powerful if we can get children to
ask the questions themselves.
SLIDE 17
Open question starters
- I wonder if …
- I wonder why …
- Tell me about …
- Why do you think …
- Tell me more about …
- How do you know …
- Ask your child questions which will deepen
their understanding of the text
SLIDE 18
Be seen reading yourselves and …
…stretch your children by reading higher level books to them.
SLIDE 19
- Read the same story independently … then
discuss the text … watch the film.

siblings … to make them feel like the expert
