Reading in Reception
How are we teaching your child to read in school?
- Daily phonic sessions – children learn four new phonemes (sounds a week)
- Daily keep up interventions for any children who need extra help to secure teaching
- Three reading sessions each week:
Session 1: Decoding – reading known words and sounding out
unknown words
Session 2: Prosody – reading with meaning and expression
Session 3: Comprehension – talking about what we have read
- Daily story time-we read books to the children that they cannot read themselves
- Daily singing and sharing of rhymes and poems
How you can help at home?
- Listen to your child read their reading book each day (5 mins)
- Read a story to your child as often as possible (every day if you can)
- Play games like, “I spy with my little eye a b-u-s.........a t-r-ee.”
- Talk lots!
