Reading Year 1 KS1. Support for reading in Year 1. Primary homework help with learning to read and comprehension at Primary School.

Pick a level

Talking about books.

Talking about books is just as important as reading them. This helps your child understand the story and connect with it. Here are some ideas on what you can talk about.

• Ask what they would like to read about.
• Look at the cover and the title of a storybook and ask what they think the story is about and what might happen.
• Who is the main character in the story?
• What might happen next?
• Does the story make sense? If not, why not?
• Did you enjoy the story? What was your favourite part?
• Encourage your child to ask questions about the story and pictures as you read together.

Listening to your child read

Listening to your child read out loud will give your child a chance to improve their reading skills.

Remember it's really important to be positive and enthusiastic with your praise as often as you can so that they know they are doing well. Other tips are:

• Show that you are enjoying the book by asking questions.
• Be patient and allow your child to work out the tricky words. Show how they can break the sounds down to work them out.
• Pick a quiet time everyday for reading.
• Guide your child on choosing books that aren't too difficult. Don't worry if they choose ones a little easier than they are able to read. Support them if they read more challenging books. If they are determined to read harder books maybe you can take it in turns to read a bit so that your child doesn't get disheartened when it gets tough.
• Try to get your child to 'listen' to their reading and see if they can hear their mistakes.
• Taking turns to read helps your child hear how they are supposed to be reading.
• Ask questions during and at the end (see above) to check they have understood the story.

Make listening to your child read part of your daily routine

Listening to your child read their reading scheme book daily can seem like a chore. When we’re tired after a day’s work, or our child is frustrated, it can easily become a painful experience. But do try and read every day. It will make a real difference to your child’s progress. Keep it short and up-beat (however you’re feeling) and filled with praise. If you have older children, try sharing the load with them.

Read daily with your child even if their reading book has not changed. Re-reading lets us encounter words and phrases enough times to remember them. It builds confidence and helps the words move from short term to long term memory. Also, once your child is familiar with a story, you have an opportunity to support their comprehension  skills. Talk about the ideas in the book, perhaps noticing things they missed the first time, or making links between the different events in the story.

Find out more about how to share your child’s reading scheme book here .

Read aloud to your child daily

Try and make time every day to read to your child. You could read an adventure story or a non-fiction book about cars or animals. Poetry can be fun too. When you read to your child, they get to experience adventurous language and ideas that they might not have found in their reading books. It builds their horizons and empathy.

Get them involved!

When you’re reading with your child, try to keep them actively involved in the words and the story. Clap out syllables ( pel-i-can, Sep-tem-ber ) or point out words made up of two words (for example the wind and mill in windmill). When reading to your child, encourage your child to join in with phrases, sound effects and actions to make a shared story time fun. Retell the story together, act out parts and bravely put on voices for different characters. Make a fool of yourself!

Talk about books, stories, words and pictures

As you read with your child, talk about the book. Ask them questions about the story – particularly questions you don’t know the answer to. Try to ask open questions that begin with ‘how’ or ‘why’ ( Why did she do that? How is he going to solve this problem? ) Talk about what is happening in a picture, what the characters might be thinking, or what might happen next. These questions all help to support your child’s comprehension  skills.

Read all sorts of books

A mix of fiction and non-fiction, real stories and magical stories, familiar characters and new experiences help to broaden your child’s interests and keep story time fresh. Sometimes you might choose the book, sometimes they might!

School marm.

I assigned a nonfiction passage and test and posted it to Google Classroom through this site. How do I retrieve the scores? Thanks!

I do not store any student data due to COPPA regulations.

Please read this for more information about score collecting / keeping: https://www.ereadingworksheets.com/e-reading-worksheets/remote-learning-resources-for-covid-19-shutdowns/#how-to-assign-an-ereading-worksheet

I am loving these online test so fun

Sometimes on the iPad the online versions of the worksheets freeze. Is there something I can do? I’m having my daughter work on the inference one specifically right now. Thank you

I will look into it…

tabletpc.news

clues climber and Super Grammar Ninja, could you recommend similar games or activities for practicing context clues and grammar? Thank you!

Leslie Sammarco

What a gold mine! Thank you so much for creating and sharing this!

Question: Is there a way to print answer keys to the context clue vocabulary worksheets? Or are they only available to view?

If you try PRINTING the page, I think they format pretty nicely. Let me know what you think.

Dominica Brandon

Can I find past scores from quizes?

No, no student data is stored on this site.

Thanks so much for all your hard work. We are not supplied adequate curriculum in our school, so are always having to hunt down the best ways to teach different concepts. Your materials are rigorous, but also easy to understand. Thanks again!
