Dear Parent/Carer 

Your child is now on Reading Band Lime Lizard.  Thank you for encouraging your child to read.  

Targets 

• recognise text types, predict layout, general content 

• read silently, asking questions to monitor meaning- returning easily to a text after a break 

• rerun more complex sentences and unfamiliar language to understand and interpret meaning 

• make use of blurbs, chapter headings, indexes  and glossaries to find information quickly and accurately 

• express reasoned opinions about what is read 

Always 

• ask, ‘Which part of the book tells you about...?’ 

• ask, ‘Tell me why he or she did that.’
