In reading, Team CB have worked really hard to move to a more comprehension focussed approach to reading. The class have linked reading to their text driver Fantastic Mr Fox and have looked at both the fictional text, non-fiction extracts on foxes and poetry. Vocabulary and retrieval have been a key VIPERS focus. The class have spent time each week unpicking texts and using images and actions to develop an understanding of unfamiliar words, enabling them to use these in context and explain their meaning. They have then built upon their fluency skills through choral reads and echo reading. The class can explain what expression and intonation is and are beginning to effectively model this in their own reading. During the latter part of the half term, Team CB have concentrated on retrieval based comprehension questions where the children have developed a clear procedure for locating information – Read the question, identify key information, skim/scan for target language, re-read the question and form an answer.
