Word Reading

-Apply their growing knowledge of root words, prefixes and suffixes both to read aloud and to understand the meaning of new words they meet

- test out different pronunciations of longer words

Range of texts

-Be introduced to a range of authors that they might not choose themselves

-Be able to select own books (and be taught how to do so)

- Continue to develop a positive attitude to reading and understand what is read.
