Supporting your child's reading

Follow the link below for your children to complete their quizzes on their books and keep on top of tracking your child's progress on Accelerated Reader. 

Below is a link to our stem questions that we use in school. When we complete comprehension style questions, these are used to form these questions we answer. 

Please use these stem questions with your children and see if you can create your own questions with your children on the book they are reading. 

Books my child can use

Books below are based on if your children are interested in certain authors they would enjoy these books too.  

Reading in class

Our reading corner in year 4 allows us to go on adventure and explore different worlds and difference places in our books. We have books on display, which at moment, show the books that are Miss Smith’s favourite books. We also have all our novels we will read within our English units of work. 
We have front facing books in our library so we can see the front covers and these books range within all our book levels. 
We have topic books that relate to History at the moment and we are able to use these in lesson times as well as reading for pleasure.

We have a nice comfy sofa for us to enjoy while we take quizzes and pick books in our reading corner, while sitting next to Paddington who is Miss Smith’s favourite. 

Reading in subjects.

Often we will get opportunities to complete research work in our foundation subjects. This half term, we used reading opportunities from our history books to research all about Industrial Revolution. 

Class Novel

Throughout the year, we will also have a class novel which Miss Smith will read to us when we have spare time throughout the day. Our first class novel was voted for by the majority of the class which was A Bear Called Paddington which Miss Smith was very pleased about. 

Star Readers 

At the end of each half term teachers analyse the data on the Accelerated Reader programme to see how many words the children have read. This is generated through counting of the words in books that the children have taken quizzes on and passed. 
 

In Autumn 1 31 of our KS2 children had read over 50,000 words. The picture below shows the star readers from Year 4 this half term.
