Grow, Persevere, Succeed. Be the best you can be!
How you can help your child at home.
Whilst listening to your child read, you could ask questions to explore their understanding of what they have read. Questions could include:
Can you summarise in less than 20 words what has happened so far?
Can you predict what might happen next? Why do you think that?
Who is your favourite character? Why?
How might the character be feeling? Why do you think that?
If there was any vocabulary that the children were not familiar with, they could predict what the word meant or suggest a replacement word then look the word up online or using a dictionary.
If you would like more information on how you can support your child at home, please contact your child's teacher.
