Developing reading preferences in Year 4 through personal reflection
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can understand my reader identity by reflecting on my reading experiences.
Key learning points
- Reader identity is the process of reflecting on what you enjoy or do not enjoy reading
- Reading can take many forms; it does not have to be restricted to a book
- Reading is a skill that you use every single day
- A reading preference can include what we read and where we read.
Keywords
Reading preference - A reading preference can include what we read and where we read.
Form - Form is the way that a text can be presented.
Treasure hunt - A treasure hunt is an activity where you search for hidden items or clues.
Common misconception
Pupils may think reading is restricted to a book.
By completing a reading treasure hunt, pupils can explore reading in a range of forms.
Teacher tip
A reading treasure hunt should be adapted to the setting. You could bring in examples for pupils to discuss. Focus should be on the different forms/types of reading as opposed to winning points. This will ensure discussion is centred on book talk.
