READING

The more you read, the more things you'll know
The more you learn, the more places you'll go

                                                           Dr Suess
Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself
George Bernard Shaw

In Term 1 2022, Oakhill Drive hosted rounds. The problem of practice was: Are our reading lessons worthwhile and is there evidence of teachers using effective comprehension activities? This page includes the pre-readings for this round.
