The group reading activities will focus on comprehension skills. There are many aspects of comprehension:
Inferring the author's meaning in the text
Predicting what might happen next, based on the events in the story, and their knowledge of other stories
Learning new vocabulary
Explaining what is happening in the story
Retrieving information from the text to show their understanding
Comparing characters and settings within the story with other known characters and settings
Summarising the story so far
Sequencing the events of a story
Creating art or writing opportunities based on what has been read.
We will focus on inferring, as this is an aspect of reading that many children can struggle with. After that, we will look at building vocabulary and creating writing opportunities, while also covering the other areas through question-and-answer sessions.
The book choice will be made nearer the time, and based on the age and stage of the children who sign up.
Monday 3rd August to Friday 7th August 1:30 - 2:10 each afternoon.
