Today we have carried out reading assessments to ensure your child's book and improving comprehension are a perfect partnership. Many of our children will be receiving certificates in the coming weeks. Recent assessments in class have shown that reading needs to be a focus for the class. The assessment revealed lots of mechanical readers however they struggled to answer questions based on the text in a more formal method. In school we will focus on the comprehension of reading which can be supported further at home by discussing the reading books at home using the bookmarks as a guide. It is expected that children who are working at an appropriate level for the end of KS1 will be reading at white band by the end of the year.
