Reading

​ Reading: With my reading Miss Bates reads a book called diary of a wimpy kid. I enjoy listening to it and when there is something funny. With reading I need to understand what I am reading and remember what it’s about, when I read I have a little card and I put it under it so I am on track with the line and I don’t muddle up with the line, And when I come across a word I don’t know I sound it out.

With my reading when I do SQUIRT I don’t like reading. I find it very boring but I guess it helps me with my spelling, story writing and spelling tests. Some books I like to read are true stories. I don’t like reading books that are made up and ones that don't interest me, such as tennis.

Reading groups: With reading groups I read with Miss S in room 10 in a small group. Sometimes I don't understand the story or the author's purpose. I am going to ask Miss S if we can read short stories about true things, such as The Titanic because these are the types of stories that interest me. During this group time, I actually do read and don't muck around. I read out loud clearly. When I come to a word I don't know, sometimes one of my peers calls out the word, but I would prefer to have a go myself. I look carefully at the letters to break down the word into smaller parts. Sometimes I also go back to the start to the sentence to help me work it out.
