With your adult, practise reading the story below. (If you would like a copy of this to print out, we can email it to you if you let us know year3@hilltop.doncaster.sch.uk)

WEDNESDAY - SECTION 1

 Adults, spend time over the next few days doing 'Echo Reads' with your child. We use this a lot in school to help our pupils build fluency (being able to read without having to sound out) and expression! If you would like your child to be independent, they could use Miss Robinson's video, pausing the video to Echo Read.

For example:

Adult: An amazing thing once happened to me. 

Child: An amazing thing once happened to me.

Adult: I was wandering in the woods then I tripped

Child: I was wandering in the woods when I tripped

TASK 3: READ, REREAD and RECORD
