Guided Reading at Hatch Ride
Guided reading is taught four times a week from Year 1 through to Year 6. These sessions are taught as a whole class and the focus is on reading comprehension rather than on decoding and fluency. We do this through the use of Reading Vipers.
VIPERS is an anagram to help the recall of the 6 reading areas or skills that children need to develop in order to read well. They are the key areas which we feel children need to know and understand in order to improve their comprehension of texts.
VIPERS stands for:
Vocabulary
Inference
Prediction
Explanation
Retrieval
Sequence (KS1) or Summarise (KS2)
