  1. Reading Circles:An overview

  2. A seemingly-impenetrable fog had descended over the A617; thankfully she had set off earlytoday. Her face was like a heated rear windscreen: warm and heavily-lined. One clumsily-manicured finger admonished the indicator stalk and she eased the Corsa up the slip road to the roundabout. “Third right, second left,” she repeated aloud to no-one in particular. Shared reading/shared understanding The radio crackled; a robotic voice said distantly: “There’s no need for panic. Pull the car over. Now.” She froze.

  3. Individual reading books - through reading scheme then ‘free reader’ Reading in school Sharing books with class – discussion/questioning encouraged Class books – topic-based work Reading circles – currently from Y1 - 6

  4. Encourages child-led discussion – staff as facilitators Reading Circles Introduces books in a variety of genres Give a purpose and audience to high-quality homework - specific roles and peer feedback Promotes independence in reading, writing and learning Encourages the enjoyment of books

  5. “They already read harder books than this at home.” Reading circles usually involves some shared reading… but reading aloud/decoding is not a higher-order skill… Example of reading assessment:

  6. The Big Three: • Discussion Director • Summariser • Predictor The Roles: • Other roles: • Investigator • Vocabulary Builder • Extended Writer  • Connector • Literary Luminary

  7. Beyond the obvious... (encouraging a love of reading in general) • Check your child understands their homework: which pages to read and their role. How can I help my child? • Help your child with their work as you see fit. • Encourage a dialogue with the member of staff who has set the homework – if the work is proving too challenging or tricky then encourage your child to write and explain their successes and difficulties. • Check the hand-in date (time for marking)

  8. Thank you for coming along.Does anyone have any questions?
