Have you tried...

• Writing questions for your child to read and answer about the book they have read?
• Asking your child to copy a sentence from the book with their neatest handwriting, then improving that sentence by adding an adjective to it?
• Using the school book mark (provided at the start of the school year) to ask questions and ensure your child fully understands what they have read?
• Drawing pictures to retell the main parts of the story they have read?
• Making a list of adjectives to describe the main character in the story?
