Improving Reading Skills - Year 6

English programme of study - Reading - comprehension

Pupils should be taught to understand what they read by:

• checking that the book makes sense to them, discussing their understanding and exploring the meaning of words in context
• asking questions to improve their understanding
• drawing inferences such as inferring characters’ feelings, thoughts and motives from their actions, and justifying inferences with evidence
• predicting what might happen from details stated and implied
• summarising the main ideas drawn from more than one paragraph, identifying key details that support the main ideas

Improving Reading Skills has been made to help students extend and develop their reading skills and covers the curriculum objectives of the year 6 English programme of study listed above. This editable PowerPoint presentation includes:

• Analysis of form, language and tone
