My Reading Pathway


Easy Blog Photo

I am pointing to where I am on the room 17 reading pathway.

I am currently reading at yellow two.

I am working on the following:

  • I can work out words. I can look across the word to look for letters and letter clusters I know.
  • I can think about what would make sense and sound right.
  • I can find the speech marks and make those bits sound like talking
  • I can say what I think is happening and say what will happen next
  • I can read without finger pointing
Teacher Voice: "Well done Chloe I know you find reading tricky sometimes but I love that you try and use strategies such as your growing letter sounds, clues from the pictures and thinking about what would make sense to work out what the words say. Keep working hard and using different strategies and you will continue moving through our reading pathway. I'm very proud of you!"- Miss H

Reading


I am learning to find words that end with 'ed'

I know the sound 'ed' makes at the end of a word. 

This can help me to self-correct when I am reading.

We are learning to write words that we find in our reading books.
