Fresh Start - we teach sounds and students practise reading and spelling words containing these sounds, then we give students decodable books containing sounds and words they can read. They read each module three times at school and again with you at home. Fresh Start Some children in Y5 and 6 may take part in Fresh Start. It is important to make sure that children are confident, fluent decoders which will in turn allow them to access comprehension tasks. On each reading, pupil s fluency increases and the more they can focus on what the story is about. Students also learn to spell the words they have been reading and develop their ideas into sentences so that they can write about the modules they read. Our aim is for students to finish the Fresh Start programme quickly so they can start reading these books for themselves.
Common Exception Words These are words that the children will not be able to use their phonics to read and will be required to sight read. You can help them practise these at home.
1. Vocabulary 2. Retrieval Developing Comprehension Skills 3. Inference 4. Summarising 5.Prediction 6.Explanation
Children throughout Y3, 4 and 5 are taught different strategies to help them determine the meaning of unfamiliar words. You can encourage your children to use these at home. Look for words within the words. E.g. The boy stared at the crowd in amazement. Understanding unfamiliar words. Read around the word to find meaning. E.g. The girl peered at the screen. If you think you know, replace it with a synonym (a word with the same or similar meaning) to see if it makes sense. E.g. The lion devoured its prey.

Encourage Encourage them to re-read the text many times to develop fluency. Talk to them about the characters and the events in the story. Ask questions to develop their understanding. Talk Sign Sign their reading diary every time they read to you.
Asking your child questions about their reading can help to develop their thinking and understanding. Try to ask open questions that start with how and why . Ask your child to look back at the text to tell you how they know the answer. Encourage them to use the sentence starter I know because in the text it says . Talking about the pictures, what the characters might be thinking and predicting what might happen next, all help to develop their reading skills. Here are some useful question stems for you to try at home: 1. Looking at the front cover or title, can you predict what this book is about? 2. Find a word that tells you about the character or the setting. Talk about books, stories, words and pictures 3. Find a word that tells you how the character is feeling. 4. Look at this word/phrase what does it mean? How do you know? 5. Can you tell me another word that means the same as ? 6. Why do you think the author chose the word ? What does it make you think? 7. Where does the story take place? 8. Who are the main characters? 9. What made the character feel sad/worried/excited/happy/scared? 10. Retell the story in order that it happened. 11. At the end of the story the character felt sad/happy/relieved/shocked. Can you explain why? 12. Is this like another story you have read? In what way? 13. Would you recommend this book to a friend?
