At Horndale we love to read. Staff at school have recorded some of their favourite stories below. Watch them with your child and enjoy each book. Ask your child lots of questions such as:
Questions to ask before you read
What do you think will happen in this book?
What makes you think that?
Questions to ask during the reading
What do you think will happen next?
What can you tell me about the story so far?
Can you predict how the story will end?
What would you have done if you were the character?
How would you have felt if you were the character? (use different characters)
Questions to ask after reading
Why do you think the author wrote this book?
What was your favorite part of the story?
If you could change one thing in the story, what would it be?
Can you retell the story in order?
Did you like the story?
