Early Reading Skills
In order to become good readers, children need
to:
- have lots of stories read to them and discuss the
pictures which will help to develop their vocabulary
- sharing books, films, hobbies, interests etc, will help
to develop their language & listening skills.
- learn that reading in English is from left to right
- know the letter sounds (phonics)
- learn that print is different from pictures
Reading Development
• Some children learn to read in different
ways and at different rates.
• Some children learn to sound out the
letters and blend them together for
reading.
• Some children learn to read the words on
the page but find it tricky to understand
the text.
• But children become successful readers by
learning to use a range of strategies to get
at the meaning of a text
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
Children can improve their
reading by:
• Self correcting when something does not
make sense
• Using expression
• Noticing and using punctuation marks
• Reading at a faster pace with greater
fluency
• Exploring the meaning of new words
• Showing an interest in longer texts
Assessing reading
• Teachers assess children's reading
regularly, using Benchmarking and
teacher assessments, and move children
to the next colour band when appropriate
• Children should be reading at least 95% of
the text accurately and understand what
they have read and be able to answer
questions about the text
Other Ideas To Help Your
Child Read
• Make reading fun and relevant to your child!
• Share books and other forms of print
• Play word games e.g. I Spy, Rhyming words,
making pretend words
• Practise “tricky” words and sounds as often as
possible
• Encourage your child to use different strategies
like using pictures, reading on, sounding out etc.
• Use PRAISE continually throughout reading
• Finding the right time and place to read
• Be a role model and read
Comprehension
• Children need to have a good
understanding of what they have
read.
• Predict what might happen next
• Find words in the text
• Discuss likes/dislikes
• Encourage them to ask questions
about the text
• Retell the story in their own words
•A finishing thought…
• Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an
Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in
