' There are three rules for writing the novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are. ' - W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965)
With the depth of choice available for young readers it is sometimes difficult to choose a title suitable for children of a certain age to read.
We would like children to be engaged by the text and entertained and informed by illustrations, yet given a degree of education in the process.
Reading Materials Spring 2006
In this section you will find electronic versions of the materials given out on the Spring ’06 reading courses, plus a few additional
things.
Please feel free to cut and paste and adapt them however you like to make them right for you and your school.
Available in this section are:
- the reading levels and sub-levels with key features of each;
- a full set of question stems and prompts for each AF (in list form);
- question stems in fan form;
- suggested format for half-termly guided reading record sheet (a blank plus an example made up for Level 3C);
- reading perceptions survey (please bear in mind that these questions were assembled for a particular cross-phase KS2/3 reading project. They may not be appropriate for all schools and situations);
- and ‘I can’ statements of some of the AFs (can be put onto the appropriate coloured card and used as posters).
We hope you find the resources useful and manageable - if you have time to let us know how you get on we’d love to hear from you.
Happy reading!
