Dear Parent/Carer
Your child is now on Reading Band Red Tomato. Thank you for encouraging your child to read.
Targets
-
make sure it makes sense and sounds right
-
make the reading sound like talking – not like a robot
-
find the title, turn the pages, start reading on the left
-
read words they know automatically
-
re-tell the story including all the main parts
Always
-
if the reading doesn’t make sense ask them what they can do to fix it
-
if they get stuck say, ‘go back and try that again’ or ‘sound it out’
