Summer 2 - Team CH

This half term, children in Team CH have continued to make excellent progress in their reading. Throughout the term, all children have worked hard to develop their fluency, confidence and comprehension skills, showing greater independence when reading a range of increasingly challenging texts. Some children have continued to access their phonics sessions, where they have further secured their knowledge of phonemes and spelling patterns, becoming more confident in decoding unfamiliar words and reading with greater accuracy, fluency and automaticity. As we approach the end of the year, lots of children have now completed the Read, Write Inc. programme and have enjoyed exploring high-quality class texts through whole-class reading sessions. They have developed their understanding of ambitious vocabulary linked to our class text driver, Alice in Wonderland, discussing the meaning of new words and identifying how authors use language to engage the reader. The children have also shown increasing confidence when reading aloud, using expression, appropriate pace and intonation to bring the text to life. As part of these sessions, the children have worked to answer a range of comprehension questions in practical based tasks.
