Product description

 

Reading cards to boost phonics, fluency and comprehension

Help your children to build their fluency and comprehension skills while accessing short texts suitable for Ages 5-6 matched to their reading ability. Using these cards and accompanying teacher’s guide, you can help children begin to develop the essential skills to become a reader for life.

 

Short Reads Decodables provides children with texts matched to their reading ability to dive deeper into. They read, re-read, discuss and respond in writing about topics, helping them to develop wider comprehension skills using close reading.†

This box contains 40 decodable fiction and non-fiction cards (six copies of each) matched to one of the most commonly used validated SSPs in primary schools, and an accompanying teacher’s guide.

  • Follows phases 2-4 of one of the most commonly used validated SSPs in primary schools
  • Motivate the whole class with snappy, fast reads and high-interest topics
  • Develop comprehension skills with close reading†
  • Build writing skills with ‘Write about Reading’ tasks
  • Ideal for group reading sessions and independent reading
 

The Teacher’s Guide includes detailed notes for each reading card. This includes:

  • a teacher’s reference panel about the card,
  • before reading notes to check the children’s phonic understanding and tricky words;
  • first and second reading activities to develop close reading† and fluency;
  • after reading activities including questions and prompts;
  • suggestions for discussion and dictation and writing activities.

All of which help develop close reading† skills.

 

Scholastic considers these cards suitable for children learning using the Wandle Learning Trust’s Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised phonics programme. Scholastic is not part of Wandle Learning Trust, nor are our products approved for use with the Little Wandle Letters & Sounds Revised phonics programme by the Wandle Learning Trust.

 

What is close reading?

Close Reading (sometimes called Repeated Reading) describes the careful, sustained interpretation of a brief passage of text. Research links the close reading of text to significant gains in reading. The careful study of a short text passage helps build a deep, critical understanding of the text. Children learn to comprehend text, analyse, synthesise and critically examine information.
