Year 6
In Year 6, understanding stories, poems, and information goes beyond just the plot. Encourage your child to view books from different angles. It’s not just about what happened; it’s about understanding the underlying messages and themes woven throughout the text.
Engage your child in discussions about the significance of the books they read. Ask them what the story means to them personally and whether they think the author intended any deeper, less obvious meanings for readers to uncover.
By analysing stories, poems, and informational texts, your child develops critical thinking skills that are essential for academic success and lifelong learning. Encourage them to question, interpret, and draw connections between the text and their own experiences.
Foster a safe and supportive environment where your child feels empowered to share their interpretations of books. Celebrate their insights and encourage them to explore multiple perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding of literature. Discover captivating tales that will ignite the imagination and inspire curiosity in your Year 6 reader.
