1 Recommended Reading How you can help your child to make real progress in English
2 Parent: Teacher: Parent: Teacher: Parent: Teacher: Parent: Teacher: Parent: Teacher: How can these pages help my child in English? These pages let you know where your child is up to in becoming a fluent reader. Weren t they taught that in primary school? Yes they were! But this moves their skills on, so that your child becomes a thoughtful reader who will be able to make considered judgements on any texts they read. How can these pages help my child to make progress in English? These pages are an excellent guide to help you and your child find your way to reading success. Wasn t my child taught to read in primary school? Yes, he/she was! But there s a difference between being a mechanical reader who merely recognises words and a fluent reader who will be able to make considered judgements on any text they read. So... How do I use these pages? Here s how: Read the general advice on Improving Your Child s Reading Skills. Look at the 5. Which do you think best fits your child s reading skills?
3 English Department Improving Your Child s Reading Skills Q: How can I help my child to improve his /her reading skills at Allerton High? A: In the first term of each Key Stage 3 Year Group: Make sure your child has a book in a bag - a suitable reading book in school. N.B. Yr 7 pupils will have a library lesson once a fortnight to learn how to use the library and how to borrow books. If your child is not sure what to choose, ask him/her to talk to our friendly, approachable librarian, Mrs A. Walker, who is very knowledgeable and will give excellent advice about possible book choices. Click here for her book choices. You could also take them to the local library or bookshop, eg Waterstones and talk to him/her about what he/she enjoys reading about. Each term your child will : Have one reading homework a week. Have a library lesson a fortnight. Keep a reading log in the back of their PO.

5 Back to English Department: Recommended Reading Developing Reader (Level 3) If your child is identified as a DEVELOPING reader. Remember reading is the key to accessing the whole school curriculum. Take an interest in every aspect of reading in your child s environment, e.g. back of the cereal packet, to the geography text book. Keep them reading because practice perfects! Once you ve chosen a suitable text together, it is important to hear your child read and to make time in your daily routine for this time to be a priority. When approaching a text, keep praising your child and emphasise the fun aspect of reading. Here are some techniques you could try with your child, to improve his/her reading fluency: 1. Break down the word and sound it out. 2. Use the rest of the sentence to help figure out what the word means. 3.Are there drawings and illustrations which make it clearer? Click here for Librarian s book choices and Improving Reading Skills
6 Back to English Department: Recommended Reading Competent Reader (Level 4) Reading is always for fun and pleasure. If your child is identified as a COMPETENT reader. Encourage him/her to read a more challenging book than he/she would normally read. Ask him/her to consider what genre the text is (e.g. horror, romance, media, etc.) Why might the title be significant? Discuss with your child what might happen next in the story (PREDICT) Encourage him/her to visit writers websites and to go to writers talks and presentations. For example, Waterstones in Leeds has an exciting programme of visiting authors. Leeds libraries also organise many author events during school holidays. Praise and reward your child if he or she completes a number of books, especially more than usual. Let him/her see you enjoying reading. This will always encourage children to read more. Click here for Librarian s book choices and Improving Reading Skills
7 Back to English Department: Recommended Reading Active Reader (Level 5) If your child is identified as an ACTIVE reader. Keep encouraging them to read every day. Try challenging teen fiction, such as William Nicholson and Philip Pullman. Make sure they have access to a wide range of non-fiction texts, such as informative texts and quality internet sites. Encourage them to read feature articles in quality magazines and Sunday supplements. Discuss: 1. What is the purpose of the text? 2. Who is it aimed at? 3. How is the text laid out? (Presentation) Click here for Librarian s book choices and Improving Reading Skills
8 English Department: Recommended Reading Reflective Reader (Level 6) Back to If your child is identified as a REFLECTIVE reader. Encourage him/her to broaden the range of texts, both fiction and non-fiction, that they choose. Read different newspapers (tabloid and broadsheet) and discuss the differences. Help him/her to make fiction choices by encouraging them to read books linked to those he/she has already read (books by same writer, on a similar theme, etc.) Read the opening of a challenging novel together and discuss it. Your child will need to be encouraged to persevere. Try sharing a novel (reading a part each) and discussing it. A novel linked to a film can be a good option, with the opportunity to watch the film together once the novel is complete. Don t miss the opportunity to discuss the differences between the novel and the film. Focus on keeping reading an enjoyable experience. Reading is a voyage of discovery where children gain experiences of life and people through the texts they explore. Click here for Librarian s book choices and Improving Reading Skills
9 English Department: Recommended Reading Back to Versatile Reader (Level 7) If your child is identified as a VERSATILE reader. Encourage him/her to read texts from another time or culture. This can lead to research of the historical or cultural aspect of the text. Consider different quality Sunday paper supplements and discuss the reliability of the articles and issues covered. Discuss with your child how news items are presented in newspapers and on television reports, and compare the differences. Keep reading fun!
