Literacy Homework:

To support your child's 'love of reading' as part of our literacy programme read to your child nightly before bed remembering the value of conversation and targeted questioning to enhance their experience;

1) As them about the main characters, plot and setting.

2) Get them to predict what might happen next as part of enjoying reading.

3) At the end ask them about their favourite bits and which bits they didn't like.

4) Can they retell the story in their own words?

Finally, don't forget to read your child's S.T.A.R book with them, they chose that book themselves just for you to share with them.
