Whole Class Guided Reading
The aim of our whole class guided reading is to expand pupils' vocabulary and deepen their understanding of the texts they are reading. We do this through explicit teaching of vocabulary before reading the text and re-reading sections looking closely at the elements which require further understanding. Across a week of guided reading, we develop the pupil's retrieval, prediction, summarising, inference and author's choice.
Pupils are given time to talk about their responses.
They are given opportunities to think to themselves.
Flying Solo allows pupils to write their answers independently.
