Apologies for the lack of updates. I hope all families had a good holiday.
At the moment we are looking at information books and non fiction on literacy. We have learned about the different things that non fiction books have such as glossaries, diagrams and captions. Some children are finding it tricky to decide whether a book is a non fiction book or a story based on some real facts.
Sharing non fiction books together and discussing what makes them different to stories would be really helpful to children.
To go even further you could look at the way they are written, do they contain opinions? Can children skim read then searching for certain words of answers to questions without reading the whole thing?
Sharing and discussing books is still really valuable, even as the children this age get more independent in their reading.
