Dear Parent/Carer 

Your child is now on Reading Band White Snowman.  Thank you for encouraging your child to read.  

Targets 

• read silently most of the time, noticing new words and thinking about their meaning 

• read for longer periods of time and return to a book after a break – remembering what has happened 

• notice the spelling patterns of unfamiliar words 

• to talk with others about what has been read 

• think what might happen from what has been read 

Always 

• say, ‘Find the word that means….’ 

• ask, ‘What words were used to describe….?’
