Reading

You should still be aiming to read a personal reading book (or comic, newspaper etc.) for 20 minutes a day.

Below is a link to an eBook and questions for each chapter for your daily Guided Reading session. Remember as you read to think about what is

happening in the text and if there are words you are unsure of- find a way to work out their meaning: use the context clues, a dictionary or ask an

adult. Aim to spend 30 minutes on this each day.
