VIPERS

VIPERS

To support our love of reading we have implemented the use of weekly ‘VIPERS’ reading sessions across Years 1-4 where pupils engage in a range of literary devices related to their current class reader. 

The 6 domains focus on the comprehension aspect of reading and not the mechanics: decoding, fluency, prosody etc.  As such, VIPERS is not a reading scheme but rather a method of ensuring that as teachers we ask, and children are familiar with, a range of questions.  This allows teachers to track the type of questions asked and the children’s responses to these which allows for targeted questioning afterwards.
