Turquoise

Turquoise

When I am reading a Turquoise book I am learning to…

• Read a text without having to rely on the pictures
• Sound out more difficult unknown words without being prompted
• Read longer sentences and respond correctly to the punctuation
• Predict what will happen next and explain how accurate I was
• Use punctuation and layout to read with a greater range of expression and control.
• Sustain my reading including reading longer paragraphs
• Tackle more unfamiliar and complex words using my knowledge of vocabulary, sounding out and syllables

You can help me by….

•  If there is a Phase 5 sound I have not yet come across, show me how to say it and encourage me to sound out

 Asking me questions such as…

• What do you think this story will be about?
• Why did the character do….?
• How do you think the character feels?
• Where did they?
• Can you retell the story in your own words?
• What does this word mean?
• What do you think will happen next?
• Were you correct or not? Why?
