Reading at Seahouses Primary

The majority of children in KS1 will continue with daily phonics sessions. Please click here for more information on phonics and early reading at Seahouses Primary School. Children in KS2 who still require daily phonics will also continue to access Read, Write Inc. 

Once the children complete the phonics programme they will take part in Guided Reading sessions where they will explore texts in depth by answering a variety of comprehension questions (VIPERS- vocabulary, inference, predict, explain, retrieve, sequence/summarise), as well as continuing to develop their fluency. 

Home Reading

We provide the children with three texts each week. These include the following: 

- A levelled reading book that has been allocated to your child based on recent reading assessments in school. 

- A book of their choice from our well-stocked library. 

- A book for pleasure. This book may or may not be at the child's reading level but will be a book they wish to read for enjoyment.
