5 nonfiction texts based on the year 2 curriculum. Each text comes with test style questions allowing children to prepare for the SATs tests. The questions cover all the different reading domains.
- develop pleasure in reading, motivation to read, vocabulary and understanding by:listening to, discussing and expressing views about a wide range of contemporary and classic poetry, stories and non-fiction at a level beyond that at which they can read independently
- being introduced to non-fiction books that are structured in different ways
- understand both the books that they can already read accurately and fluently and those that they listen to by:
- checking that the text makes sense to them as they read, and correcting inaccurate reading
- making inferences on the basis of what is being said and done
answering and asking questions
predicting what might happen on the basis of what has been read so far - Pupils should learn about cause and effect in both narrative and non-fiction (for example, what has prompted a character’s behaviour in a story; why certain dates are commemorated annually). ‘Thinking aloud’ when reading to pupils may help them to understand what skilled readers do.
- Deliberate steps should be taken to increase pupils’ vocabulary and their awareness of grammar so that they continue to understand the differences between spoken and written language.
