Reading

For the next couple of weeks, we are exploring an extract from 'My Brother is a Superhero' by David Solomons. We are practising our reading fluency skills and exploring the meaning of new words in context so that we can make sense of what we read. We are developing our retrieval skills with independence and developing our inference and explanations with some support.
