Reading - Nursery Focus is on: Using a variety of basic reading skills - identifying the title, author, illustrator, blurb - picture cues to identify what is happening - making up stories - understanding that there is a beginning, middle and end to a story - discuss the characters, events and settings - retelling stories - knowing that print carries a meaning and it is read from left to right - recognise familiar words and signs such as own name and advertising logos - reading everyday!

Where are we heading? By the end of the term we are looking for the children to: - handle books independently, carefully and correctly - know that print carries meaning and it is read from left to right - talk about books and stories - to predict what will happen - to show awareness of rhyme and alliteration - enjoy a range of books - use vocabulary and forms of speech from books

Reading- Reception Focus is on: Using a variety of reading skills - identifying the title, author, illustrator, blurb - making up stories using key features of narrative - identifying whether the books are fiction and non-fiction and how they know - using books to find information - using a range of clues to help read and understand vocabulary - talking about what they have read and demonstrating understanding - reading everyday! Using phonics in reading - segmenting and blending words using their phonic skills - reading tricky words - reading poly-syllabic words

Reading strategies - Take turns and read a page each - Discuss strategies you can use if you get stuck, i.e. picture cues, using what you have read so far as a clue, being persistent - Who can find the tricky word first? - Looking at words in the environment - Using the vocabulary and forms of speech by acting out the story, talking about it or drawing a picture. - Retell the story you have just read - Ask questions – Why did he/she do that? What would you do? What do you think will happen next? Which part of the story was your favourite? Why? Which character would you like to be? Why? - Stories do not need to be read or told in just English, using your home language is just as valuable.
