Reading Home Learning

Remember that daily reading boosts your reading ability and not reading means your reading age can drop!!

You have a school book to read but ANY book that you read and enjoy will be absolutely fantastic so whatever else you do..... KEEP READING!

 

Remember: Read 5 x a week and record inside the reading journal booklets!

 

Some suggested activities when reading to keep you busy: MAKE LISTS to bring back into school for use in the classroom!

 

  • How many new synonyms for said can you find to show someone is speaking/talking?

 

  • What different verbs are used within the text to describe movement?

 

  • What different adjectives are used to show feelings of a character?

 

  • What examples of similes can you find within the text you are reading?

 

  • Use a dictionary or online dictionary to find the meaning of new words

 

  • If you're a reading Non-Fiction, use the glossary to look up the meaning of new vocabulary

Take a listen to some David Walliams texts. He is offering free audio stories so feel free to take a listen!
