This week is Bike to School week and our weekly reading fluency text is based around this. We read this text daily and by the end of the week, we would expect the children to have a go and read the text independently. The texts vary every week and they include both fiction and non-fiction texts.
By reading the text every day, we can explore how to read unfamiliar words and the meaning of any new words. This website helped with this. We can also point out punctuation and look at how that helps us to read the text correctly. Let your child have a go at reading it to you at the end of the week.
At the end of the week, we answer questions about the text. Some of the answers can be found in the text but others might need us to think a bit more and use our inference skills (‘reading between the lines’).
Linked to this, the class created their own bar chart to show how they come to school. It was great to see a lot of active travel!
