Reading

In Key Stage 2, we explore nine key aspects of reading in order for children to enable children to fully engage with a text.

 

The domains we cover: enjoy, decode, define, predict, retrieve, summarise and sequence, infer, compare and explore.

Please read the attached document to find out more about how to support your children in each area.
