ENGLISH HEART

READING

Reading is such an important skill and our Y6 expectation is that you read on a daily basis. You are also encouraged to read a variety of genres - look at the reading 'bingo' page in your school jotter - your challenge is to read through all genre types!

Reading diaries will be collected and checked every FRIDAY so it is your responsibility to bring your completed & signed logs into school. Unsigned or late logs (unless due to illness) will not be counted .

Here are some READING LINKS to explore from home!

Reading VIPERS

VIPERS is an anagram to help the recall of the 6 reading areas or skills that children need to develop in order to read well.

VIPERS stands for:

Vocabulary

Inference

Prediction

Explanation

Retrieval

Sequence or Summarise
