What we do in our reading time

Some of our reading time is looking at a big book where we predict the story, discuss language features and look at summarising, clarifying or asking questions. Other things we do are guided reading with the teacher when we discuss a text in depth and look at features of it over a week. When we are not with the teacher, we read on our own, use puppets, listen to stories, make words with the game Upwords, play bananagrams and use board games. There are follow up activities to do with the text sometimes too.
