Children study the same text within guided reading and writing lessons. 

Guided reading sessions are planned carefully to ensure that children’s comprehension and higher order reading skills are developed. 

Children have one extended high quality guided reading session per week in Year 2 where they have the opportunity to work independently as well as with an adult.

In Year 1, Guided reading follows the Little Wandle Scheme, where children take part in three guided phonic sessions per week. This includes decoding, prosody and comprehension.
