In Year 2, most children have completed the RWI programme and are ready to move on to guided reading sessions that follow the 'VIPERS' (Vocabulary, Infer, Predict, Explain, Sequence) format, in readiness for Year 2. For those who still need phonics practise attend phonics interventions.

KS2 - VIPERS

From Year 2, children take part in structured lessons four times a week following the VIPERS skills. Children learn the skills discretely and use these skills to answer questions independently. Alike with our focus on vocabulary in writing, children learn new vocabulary every Guided Reading lesson; (words in the text they are reading). Teachers define the new words in lessons and children revise the words throughout the week, using them to understand and answer questions.
