Reading
Please make sure you are reading several times each week. We would love you to read for pleasure and enjoy picking up a book by a favourite author or a comic or magazine.
We would also like you to practise your reading skills. (Can you predict what will happen next? Can you infer how the characters feel from the text? Can you summarise what has happened so far? Can you challenge yourself to read for longer or choose a different kind of book?)
You have a reading card. Please ask an adult to sign and date a box to say they have read with you and/or talked to you about your reading at home each week. Bring your card in to show your class teacher on Friday. Keep a list of the books you read on the front cover in the blank space.
Extra focus if you like: (Friday November 3rd) This week, read a non-fiction text and then summarise what you found out to an adult. e.g. Did you know that wolves have hairy feet? This is because...
(Friday November 10th) Find a poetry anthology (a collection) and read different poems. Which do you like best? Can you say why?)
Children - you can borrow books from school or read a book from home or from Ely library.
