  2. What reading means in Year 6 • From a test point of view, reading is mostly about the understanding of a text rather than the skills of reading and decoding. • In class, this means that most of the teaching is targeted towards practising the skills of: • Retrieval of information. • Inference. • Understanding of language and vocabulary choices made by authors. • To a lesser extent, it also covers: • Summarising texts. • Comparing different texts • Making predictions.

  3. What reading means in Year 6 • Within school we are also conscious of the need for the children to have time to: • Just read a text of their choice for pleasure. • To listen to stories being read by adults or from quality audio productions. • To read a whole text and develop the stamina to read a longer book rather than ‘flitting’ between books without giving themselves the chance to get fully engaged with a narrative. • To ask questions about what they are reading. • To develop the ability to select reading material that is appropriate and of interest to them based on the blurb of the book not just the cover illustrations and title.

  4. What reading means in Year 6 • At home, we would want to have the following expectations: • Your child reads from a range of genres and text types at least 3 times a week. • Parents talk to their child about what they have read. This can include summarising what they have read, making predictions about what might happen next, inferring character or discussing unfamiliar vocabulary. • When reading, your child should be reading at a minimum pace of 90 words a minute and most (but not all) words should be familiar to them. • Parents being aware of their child’s reading diet – are they experiencing a wide range? • This does not necessarily mean your child has to be reading out loud to someone as long as a conversation about what they have just read takes place.
