Reading comprehension - The Zoo Vet

There is one text to read. If some of the words are too difficult for your child, read the text together encouraging them to read any words they can on their own. Then select the set of questions appropriate for your child (Reception should initially look at set one, Year ones set two) and answer, discussing as you go. Show your child how to look back in the text for answers or clues. Please feel free to use all sets of questions if you want to.

Daily reading

This could be reading a book from home, an eBook from Oxford Owl, magazines, listening to audio books, sharing a book with someone in your family. There’s some lovely ideas on this reading bingo.

Be as creative as you can be!
