Improving achievement and accelerating gains in reading comprehension.


What is comprehension?  Have we posed this q to the kids?

Display in room of comprehension.  Note their responses at beg, middle and end of year.
What do we ....Do think about select use and combine

Prior knowledge is very important 
How do we activate and build prior knowledge

Get kids to choose their instructional texts.
Shared reading closely related to close reading
What kind and how many different text types do we use?
Use picture books as instructional texts
6 boxes 6 different voices, roll a dice
3different texts on same topic

Prof rdg chris Watkins learners in the drivers seat   What does it look like for learners driving their own learning
What does the maintenance programme look like in rdg?

Use visualisation graphic organisers in x curricular topics
Where do we wnt to get to
Which way shd we go
Has someone got a map
Or shall we make up our own route
Is there anything we NEeed to remember from previous journey
Do we need to take any equipment

Use a dictionary for pronounciation

While on journey self/ peer assessment

What makes reading hard...what can I do that will help you?

Investigate a difficult word
Play with word wall I spy, choose 3 and use them 
Kids write a cloze activity

Someone doesn't decode this word what will you do to help them?

Unsurprisingly - peel off the prefix then the suffix or two

Choral reading - diff grps do different words ie boys read verbs girls read adj
2nd 3rd reading things make more sense

Box with who when grid

Traffic lights red don't know orange unsure green know

We need to u/stand the different genre so that we get to know the structure that we will expect to see.


Professional guides to go with the books
Write a kid friendly definition for linking prior knowledge
After 2-3 lessons strt to write their own


Know  wv pegs change each day

Show in. Variety of genre
