Expectations
Government expect that at the END of the reception year children can:
read and understand simple sentences. They use phonic knowledge to decode regular words
and read them aloud accurately. They also read some common irregular words. They
demonstrate understanding when talking with others about what they have read.
Reading
• Reading is fun and one of the most exciting things that any of us can do
• Each child is an individual and develops at their own speed
• When teaching children to read we want them to read and be readers
If kids are entertained by two letters, imagine the
fun they'll have with twenty-six.
TV
Open your child's imagination.
Open a book!
