Children are graded using 7 AFs

• AF1- decode and read for meaning- good word recognition

• AF2-finding information

• AF3- read between the lines. I think this character is sad because…

• AF4 –structure- How is the text organised and why? ( non fiction is good for this one)

• AF5 Language- interesting word choices can they talk about adjectives… big, old,tired.

• AF6 Purpose- What is the purpose of the text- to inform, to entertain to scare….

• AF7 The text and the world – how does the book fit into the wider world- stories from other countries, stories from other cultures and stories from and about the past.

How will my child’s reading be developed?

In school• Continue the teaching of phonics through the phases 2- 6• Tricky word recognition- word of the week• Daily shared reading of a class text in Literacy ( all AF s taught over a

term)• Weekly guided reading session in a small group with an unseen text • ( all AF s taught in detail)• Follow up work and return to text time.• Home reader read to an adult once a week and time to question and talk

about book on a one to one• Time to read independently and share books/ magazines in the book

corner• Word games and puzzles played

How will my child’s reading be developed ?

At home

• Listening to my child read their home reader and asking them questions

about what they have read and talking about the book.

• Reading stories to my child that they could not read to themselves but will enjoy listening to( Most Y2 children love Harry Potter but very few could read it independently) Share the books you loved with them!

• Reading REAL books – join the library. Barton has a fabulous library with really helpful staff.

• Make reading part of every day life- it’s not just about reading the scheme books from school. They will learn just as much by reading their favourite magazines, their match attax collection, the menu in the restaurant or take away or even the TV guide.
