Children attend after school club where they develop social skills and are withdrawn for 15mins by a TA to have targeted 1 to 1 reading time. They focus on phonics, high frequency word recall, comprehension and word reading. This has boosted children’s confidence in reading and has enabled them to access classroom activities with increased independence. We have also focused on higher level questioning for the more able readers so they can develop a deeper understanding of the text.
