@MrZachG Plenty of kids will get this through one-to-one reading at home with a parent or carer.
But plenty of kids won't get this, so we need whole-class mechanisms for providing this scaffolded practice.

I lead two primary schools.
Homework is inherently inequitable.
Children should not need homework to succeed in their learning - the school day should be sufficient.
Thanks @Suchmo83 for this book. I used so much of your previous book when shaping the reading strategy for my trust. I can see I’ll be applying lots of the brilliant ideas from this book too.
@MissKhan__ Sure! Class teacher- key stage leader- vice principal- local authority advisor and now director of learning for a MAT across north of England. Still do lots of teaching , curriculum design, supporting teachers through coaching.
Fancy another alternate reads poster? There’s a wealth of brilliant children’s books around memories and/or intergenerational relationships so instead of reading Grandpa’s Great Escape, here are some alternatives. Which other books would you include?
@J_C_Pearson
Why read Billionaire Boy when there’s already a brilliant selection of children’s books out there exploring friendships? Here’s some of my favourites but which others would you suggest instead of Walliams’ book?
Why read Bad Dad when you have an incredible selection of high quality, exciting parent/carer & child adventures to enjoy? Here’s some I’ve particularly enjoyed but what else would you add?
