What do you like to read? Discuss with a partner what types of texts you like to read, what books are significant in your ‘reading journey’? What has influenced your choices over the years? Would you share this information with children? Do you think it is important to know about children’s reading preferences?

When I am observing the teaching of reading what should I look for? the following slides outline some of the key principles in the teaching of reading (not all of them will make sense at the moment, but will fall into place as you progress through the course); you need to look out for evidence of these in the classroom; you also need to make sure that you consider these principles yourself, as this is what your mentors will use when they are observing you!

Browsing time! Spend time browsing through the books on your tables and in the room; consider the following question: why is it important to read aloud to children? “ Experience of hearing stories read aloud remains a key contributor to children’s literacy learning in school” (Ref: Hannon, 1995; Wade & Moore, 1998 in Cremin, T and Dombey, H (2007) Handbook of Primary English in Initial Teacher Education UKLA pg. 36)
