Helping children
learn to read
Early Reading Skills
In order to become good readers,
children need to:
- be read stories
- share books
- predict story from pictures
- learn that reading in English is from
left to write
- know the letter sounds (phonics)
How do children learn to
read?
• Pupils become successful readers by
learning to use a range of strategies
to get at the meaning of a text
• Recognising and understanding the
words on the page is no guarantee
that the text will be understood.
Letters and Sounds

Strategies for Reading
The lion was
laying in the sun.
• Sound out the word
• Use pictures
• Miss the word, read to the end of the sentence,
go back and think what would make sense
• Check reading makes sense
It is well recognised that children vary in the ease with which they can decode.
They also vary in their listening comprehension, and consequently in their reading
comprehension. An effective reader has good word reading and good listening
comprehension skills, as shown in the upper right quadrant of the figure below.
Poor reading comprehension can occur with or without poor word reading, as
shown in both lower quadrants of the figure (see Nation, 2005).
Comprehension
Comprehension
• Children need to have a good
understanding of what they have
read.
• Ask questions about the text
• Find evidence in the text
• Discuss likes/dislikes
• Predict what might happen next
Blooms Taxonomy
Dr Bloom identified
that people learn
and operate with
multiple levels of
thinking
Knowledge
Recall questions
Where does the story take
place?
When did the story take place?
What did s/he/it look like?
Who was s/he/it?
Where did s/he/it live?
Who are the characters in the
book?
Where in the book would you
find…?
Comprehension
Simple comprehension questions
What do you think is happening
here?
What happened in the story?
What might this mean?
Through whose eyes is the story
told?
Which part of the story best
describes the setting?
What words and/or phrases do
this?
What part of the story do you like
best?
