TEACHING READING
There are 3 main steps in a reading lesson that teachers will guide by:
· Before reading – teachers build up children’s prior knowledge and link this to the book being read. Sometimes teachers talk through the book or build up sematic webs so that the new vocabulary in the book can be discussed and classified.

· During reading – teachers often use prompts to support children to problem solve and use several information sources such as the meaning, syntax or the sounds and letters to figure out the point.

· After reading - teachers plan a range of activities for the children to practise what they need so they can become more independent readers. (Hill, 2006, pg.176)
