Reading in Key Stage 1

Reading requires two key skills

Phonics and Word Recognition

The ability to recognise words

presented in and out of context.

The ability to blend letter sounds

(phonemes) together to read words.

Understanding

The ability to understand the meaning of the words and sentences in a text.

The ability to understand the ideas, information and

themes in a text.

If a child understands what they hear, they will

understand the same information when they

read.

The hearing of reading is NOT the teaching of reading

Reading in School The Teaching of Reading

Use phonics first. What sound does the word begin with? Can you say the sounds in the word? Blend them together.

Read to the end of the sentence. What would make sense?

What is the text about – what might fit here? Does it sound right? Look at the picture. Does it help?

What we do if a child is stuck
