Comprehension Skills
At Moorlands, our whole class reading incorporates the strategies of modelled expressive reading, echo reading, repeated re-reading, skilled questioning, challenging text selection and modelling comprehension skills. The intent and the aim of our structured sessions is to improve the trajectory of our pupils towards the expected standard in reading by the end of KS2.
Brief description
At Moorlands, based on HfL’s (Herts for Learning) KS2 Reading Fluency Project, these sessions have been designed to:
· increase the number of pupils in Year 6 achieving the Expected Standard in reading at the end of KS2
· ensure pupils have a more positive relationship with books on exit from KS2
· cultivate enthusiastic, confident readers who have an increased understanding of challenging texts.
· help children out of year group to make rapid progress in becoming more confident, fluent readers
