Tips and advice for volunteers reading with children who are ready to be challenged

Your pupil is racing through the Chapter One story library, reading fluently and acing the flashcards each time. But what about their understanding of the stories? If you ask them to describe what happened, are they able to tell you accurately? Join us for this workshop with Emma Spiers, aka The Learning Lady, a reading and phonics expert, to deliver a workshop on how best to challenge and extend children who are confident readers. You will come away with some strategies to deploy if you are matched with a child whose comprehension skills might not be as strong as their reading fluency.

This session is part of a series of learning and development workshops designed to support our online reading volunteers. All sessions will last approximately 45 minutes with additional time for questions and are suitable for both new volunteers and returning volunteers.

Please note: the sessions will be recorded and will be made available to view on catch-up for everyone who registered. However, please do try to join us live if you can as you are more likely to benefit from the session - and it will give you the chance to ask your own questions.
