Pupils should be taught to:
develop an appreciation and love of reading, and read increasingly challenging material independently through:
reading a wide range of fiction and non-fiction, including in particular whole books, short stories, poems and plays with a wide coverage of genres, historical periods, forms and authors, including high-quality works from English literature, both pre-1914 and contemporary, including prose, poetry and drama; Shakespeare (2 plays) and seminal world literature
choosing and reading books independently for challenge, interest and enjoyment
rereading books encountered earlier to increase familiarity with them and provide a basis for making comparisons
understand increasingly challenging texts through:
learning new vocabulary, relating it explicitly to known vocabulary and understanding it with the help of context and dictionaries
making inferences and referring to evidence in the text
knowing the purpose, audience for and context of the writing and drawing on this knowledge to support comprehension
checking their understanding to make sure that what they have read makes sense
read critically through:
knowing how language, including figurative language, vocabulary choice, grammar, text structure and organisational features, presents meaning
recognising a range of poetic conventions and understanding how these have been used
studying setting, plot, and characterisation, and the effects of these
understanding how the work of dramatists is communicated effectively through performance and how alternative staging allows for different interpretations of a play
making critical comparisons across texts
studying a range of authors, including at least 2 authors in depth each year
