Using these cards and accompanying teacher's guide, you can help children begin to develop the essential skills to become a reader for life. Short Reads provides children with texts matched to their reading ability to dive deeper into. They read, re-read, discuss and respond in writing about topics, helping them to develop wider comprehension skills using close reading.

Challenging high-interest topics for children to explore and explain Motivate the whole class with snappy, fast reads and high-interest topics Develop comprehension skills with close reading Build writing skills with 'Write about Reading' tasks Ideal for group reading sessions The Teacher's Guide covers 40 group reading sessions including discussion topics and independent writing tasks. This includes: a teacher's reference panel about the card; focus questions to help prepare the children for the first reading; detailed questions about the text features; content to help the teacher guide pupils back to the text for the second reading; discussion questions that encourage re-reading, summarising and synthesising; writing tasks that require re-reading and higher order thinking skills. All of which help develop close reading skills. What is close reading? Close Reading (sometimes called Repeated Reading) describes the careful, sustained interpretation of a brief passage of text. Research links the close reading of text to significant gains in reading. The careful study of a short text passage helps build a deep, critical understanding of the text. Children learn to comprehend text, analyse, synthesise and critically examine information. SERIES INFORMATION Short Reads are deliberately short to focus children on purposeful reading, re-reading and responding. Children learn about the topic through rich vocabulary development and deep comprehension. Each box contains six copies of 40 different reading cards and a teacher's guide. Non-fiction text types covered: Description; Explanation; Procedure; Report; Discussion. Fiction genres covered: Humour; Poetry; Fantasy; Mystery; Greek Myths. table, th, td {border: 1px solid black;} Box Ages Reading Level Lexile Range Colour Band Decodable Texts: Reception4 to 5phonic phases 2 to 4n/an/a Decodable Texts: Year 15 to 6phonic phase 5n/an/a Box 1: Fiction / Box 1: Non-Fiction 5+1 to 8BR to 200LPink/Magenta, Red & Yellow Box 2: Fiction / Box 2: Non-Fiction 6+9 to 18210L to 400LBlue, Green, Orange & Turquoise Box 3: Fiction / Box 3: Non-Fiction 7+19 to 24410L to 600LPurple, Gold & Silver/White Box 4: Fiction / Box 4: Non-Fiction 8+25 to 28610L to 800LEmerald/Lime & Ruby Box 5: Fiction / Box 5: Non-Fiction 9+29 to 30710L to 1000L+Sapphire For more information on the Short Reads series please visit www.scholastic.co.uk/shortreads
