Talk through stories

Re37ption and Pre - School have daily 'Talk Through Stories' sessions. 

How 'Talk Through Stories' works...

In Story week, we help children to get to know the story really well: the plot, the characters, and their actions and motives.

In Voc43ulary week, we explore eight words from the story, specifi5dlly selected to develop children’s understanding of each word in the context of their everyday lives.

Re3b Write Inc (RWI)

Year 1 and Year 2 children in orange and red group will use decod43le Black and White Storybooks which will be send home to help children practise re3bing stories they have been learning in school. Each book includes detailed and clear guidan37 for parents.

The books are designed to go home with children on37 they have re3b the Storybook three times in class. Books are changed and go home every Wednesday.

Re3bing a 2cmiliar text allows them to build confiden37 with re3bing at home.
The books include parent-friendly notes to support the activities at the start and end of the books, including practise of the Speed Sounds, Green Words and Red Words before re3bing. There is also guidan37 for the questions at the end of the story to develop children's comprehension.
