Reading

  • Reading is a jigsaw of skills
  • When all of the skills are learned, only then do

we have a truly fluent reader

Phonics

  • One part of reading is phonics – the sounds

each grapheme/letter represents

  • Children need to be able to ‘decode’ words in
  • rder to read them
  • We use a variety of tools to help our children

learn phonics skills…

SLIDE 4

Phonics

  • Actions, stories and songs to help remember

which sound is which

  • ‘Colourful Consonants’ and ‘Vowel House’ –

introducing each sound with a colour to teach its articulation. Children think about how the sound is made in their mouth.

  • Finger Phoneme Technique - ‘sounding out’

words to aid blending and segmenting.

Sight Vocabulary/Common Words

Words than cannot be ‘sounded out’ and have to be memorised Teaching Techniques

  • look at the word and say it aloud
  • ‘take a picture of it’ in your head
  • close your eyes
  • try to write it (e.g.in the air)
  • check the sequence of letters

Comprehension

  • Comprehension is the reason for reading. If

readers can read the words but do not understand or connect to what they are reading, they are not really reading.

  • Good readers have the skills to absorb what they

read, analyse it, make sense of it, and make it their own.

Comprehension

Skills Taught

  • Using picture/context clues
  • Finding evidence in the text to back up thinking
  • Making predictions and revising them
  • Linking events in the text to self/other texts
  • Beginning to think about the purpose of the text

– who wrote it and why?

SLIDE 11

Comprehension

Questioning

  • Answering to questions demonstrate

understanding

  • Questioning can include basic recall of events

and higher order questions using ‘how’ and ‘why’ to help pupils engage with texts at a deeper level

  • We encourage children to ask questions about

the text to make sense of it at their own level

Three things to take away with you:

  • Use finger phonemes –for building words
  • ‘Take a picture’ – for memorising common

words

  • Ask open questions when reading – Why? How?

What if? Encourage your child to ask questions too
