My teacher and other adults will guide me and ensure that I am choosing suitable texts more and more independently.  

I have a phonics session at least once a day.

I will continue working through the RWI reading scheme which builds on my fluency and comprehension.

If I am still struggling with any sounds, I will continue to work on these in my assessed group, and also have 1:1 tutoring in the afternoon to close any gaps in my knowledge.

I will be able to complete AR quizzes more independently.

If I didn’t pass the phonics screen in Year 1, I will try again this year and pass after extra help and intervention.

I will start Reading Vipers.
