Children will use skills and strategies learnt to decode text with fluency during 3 weekly instructional reading sessions that support skills learnt in structured literacy workshops.

Turquoise reading skills and strategies students will develop:

Recognise the sounds in words and say the sounds as I stretch out the word.
Recognise high-frequency words quickly.
Read on to gather more information so I can work out the word.
Check the word looks right, sounds right, makes sense.
Self-correct by rerunning and cross-checking, as I think about my reading.
Notice word endings.
Think about characters, settings and problems.
Talk about the story and ask questions.
Find the part in the story that tells me....
Make my reading sound interesting by using punctuation.
Read the story again, fast and fluent.
Identify the strategies I have used.
