Guided Reading
Once children have reached a proficient level in phonics, they graduate onto whole-class guided reading lessons. Reading material is taken from a variety of sources ensuring texts are engaging and challenging; enthuse the children to widen their reading repertoire; often linking to a previous topic taught in the wider curriculum; linking to current affairs or be about a current news topic or a common celebration (e.g. Black History Month).
Guided reading follows the same structure each day with a focus on prosody and fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
