Mix It Up and Further Reading | Session based on whole class reading book
(16 copies of book for children) |
At St Peter's we have carefully considered our choice of whole class books to include a wide range of literature spanning across:
1)Big ideas at the heart (friendship, ability to corrupt)
2) Diverse range of voices and back grounds of children at school/society
3) Rich lyrical language
4) Potential to develop children’s wider knowledge
5) Deliberately widening horizons with culturally rich content
6) Offer opportunity to encounters different genres/format
When choosing we also refered to Doug Lemov’s ‘Five Plagues of Reading’ to choose books which reflect
1) Archaic language 2) Non-linear time sequences 3) Narratively complex 4) Complexity of stories 5) Resistant stories
