Why reading and sharing stories matters

It's the most important thing you can do to help you child succeed.

Research evidence shows that your involvement in your child's reading and learning is more important than anything else in helping them to fulfil their potential.

Books contain new words that will help build your child's language and understanding.

Children who are familiar with books and stories before they start school are better prepared to cope with the demands of formal literacy teaching.

Children learn by example, so if they see you reading, they are likely to want to join in.

Reading with children, or talking about what they have read, is a wonderful way to show that it is an important and valued way to spend free time.

Reading together is fun and helps build relationships

Reading builds listening skills and increases a child’s attention span.

Reading At Home

Your child will receive 2 books every Monday, Wednesday and Friday: one levelled book and one story (for enjoyment)

Don’t worry if your child receives the same book twice!

Use questioning to develop your child’s understanding e.g. Bloom’s taxonomy

What should be in your child’s book bag?

One self chosen book from the class books, which they are not expected to read but for you to read to them.

One levelled reading book that the child can read to you. These stay in their book bags until the teacher changes them.

One home learning log for you to record how your child enjoyed the books they have read that week.

How does guided reading work?

In groups of 6, children read the same book together. This encourages less confident readers to have a try. The book is chosen to suit the groups ability.

What we do in a guided reading session

Children are encouraged to talk about what is happening in the pictures.

Predict what might happen next.

Use their letter sounds and pictures to help them read words.

Turn the pages individually. Point with their finger as

they read. Discuss the story

afterwards.

Why is it important to discuss the pictures in books?

Page 13: Reading in the EYFS How to support your child at home.

“Children ultimately learn to love books because they are sharing it with someone

they love.”

(Barry Zuckerman)
