  • Developing reading preferences

Description

In this unit, pupils develop their reading preferences by exploring different authors and illustrators. Pupils learn how to engage in 'book talk' and about the benefits of recommending texts. Finally, they develop their awareness of different 'forms' of reading, focusing on poetry.

This unit uses and builds on 'Developing reading preferences in Year 4', where pupils developed reading for pleasure through exploration of a range of text types. In this unit, pupils will continue to develop reading for pleasure by exploring historical fiction as a genre. They will develop their ability to make effective connections and recommendations and also learn about different forms of poetry. This unit prepares pupils for 'Developing reading preferences in Year 6', where they will build on their knowledge through the introduction to a range of texts suitable for Year 6.
