The Reading Corner
Welcome to our weekly section of the newsletter all about reading. Every week, we will share a question (or two) with you about the book your child is reading in school. Please use these questions to help you find out a little more about what your child has been reading in school and continue to develop their love of reading.
Reception - In our story, 'Can't You Sleep, Little Bear?' Why can't a little bear go to sleep? What does big bear do to help him go to sleep? (brings him lanterns to put by his bed, then takes him outside to look at the moon so that he isn’t scared of the dark) What do you do to help you go to sleep?
Year 1 – What is the difference between going to sleep overnight, like we do, and hibernation?
Year 2 – How do you think Erin felt about Black Rock? How do you know?
Year 3 - Do you think Bad Nana will get the Park Keeper to change his mind? What makes you think this?
Year 4 - If you could write a biography (the story of someone’s life), who would you choose and why?
