Prompts and Questions to Support Reading at Home
The following document has a range of questions to support your child with their reading comprehension at home. They will be familiar with the language used within these questions as we use them as part of our whole-class guided reading lessons, interventions and 1:1 reading sessions.
Recommended Reads
Are you struggling to find a book your child will enjoy reading? Speak to your child's class teacher as they will be able to offer advice! Our school library is also open every break and lunch time for children to explore texts and ask for guidance.
We've also created a list of recommended reads for Years 3-6 filled with fiction, non-fiction and poetry. Click on the images below and hover over the titles; this will direct you to an Amazon link with the book. Some of these texts we already have in school - just ask your child to speak to their class teacher to find them.
Book Recommendations
Mrs Matheou - What's your favourite book?
M
y book recommendation is Malamander by Thomas Taylor
It's one of my all-time favourite books! I love the suspense the author creates and how he uses clever play-on words for the character's names. It's a great book to read aloud and all the classes I've read it too have always been so engrossed. You never know what's going to happen next at Eerie-on-Sea!
Miss Tebbutt - What's your favourite book?
How to Train Your Dragon - Cressida Cowell
I’d recommend this book because it’s fun to explore all the different types of dragons and to get pulled into this magical Viking world that feels alive and full of surprises. It’s a quick, enjoyable read that just makes you smile.
Amazon Wishlist
We have an amazing library! It really is fantastic. However, like so many school libraries, it holds a large number of somewhat outdated books (Atlases with countries that don't even exist under the same name, computer books that cite the digital age as being a BBC Micro with an old-style hard disk) along with others that have been borrowed so many times that they are falling apart.
We are putting a substantial amount of money (regularly) towards new books to engage the children but school budgets are not what they used to be. If you wish to contribute to the gift of reading at Brookfield Junior School, we have created this Amazon Wishlist.
If you use this, please do put your name on the order notes so that we can credit you for the donation with the date on the inside page - that way we will always remember your contribution.
Please click on the picture of the library to access the wish list.
