Please find your guided reading group on my section of the website under tour guided reading teachers name. I will put your comprehensions in this group every Monday and the answers on a Friday. You can complete your one by reading from the screen and put the answers in to your copy, there is no need to print anything off.

Reading –Continue to read your books from the library and fill in the book reviews. I am looking forward to reading your book reviews and hearing about your books when we return.

I will post up a link for you to access E-books (online books) on Oxfordowl.co.uk. Please create an account with an email address to access these books. Its free to join! https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/books/free-ebooks/

Before reading: Discuss the author, illustrator, title of the book and the blurb.

Remember our Building Bridges strategies and actions that we have been learning to help us understand what we are reading. So far we have learned how to:

-Make predictions (thinking about what might happen before and during reading).

-Make connections (thinking about how the text relates to ourselves, another book/film or the wider world).

-Visualise (creating images in our minds about the story).

-Declunk (If you don't understand a word you're reading you can declunk it! Break it up, peel back the word or use a dictionary).

-Question (ask questions about the text before, during and after reading).

-Clarify (asking for further information about the text).

Please listen to your child read and practice using these strategies (They will be familiar with all of them!).

Creative writing – Here is an excellent link – Pick one or two to do this week - They are super fun!!

Watch news2day everyday – just type in news2day into google and watch the latest episode. After, write down 6 questions based on the episode using the following words: How, What,Where, Who, Why,When.

I hope you’re all still writing your diaries into your English copies. It’s ok if you’ve missed a few days but try do as many days as you can – it’ll be interesting to read back in years to come about what you did during this time. Pay particular focus to your grammar and don't forget to date it.

Spellings - Mr Cullen's guided reading group, I have left your spellings under his name on my section of the website with your comprehension.
