They distinguish between print or symbols and pictures in texts. They understand the conventions of reading, eg following text left to right, top to bottom and page following page. They know that their name is made up of letters.
P 8 Pupils understand that words, symbols and pictures convey meaning. They recognise or read a growing repertoire of familiar words or symbols, including their own names. They recognise at least half of the letters of the alphabet by shape, name or sound. They associate sounds with patterns in rhymes, with syllables, and with words or symbols.
Level 1 Pupils use their knowledge of letters, sounds and words to read simple texts with meaning. They comment on events or ideas in stories, poems and non-fiction. Level Descriptor: Level 1 A Pupils use phrases and simple statements to convey ideas, making some choices of appropriate vocabulary. Some words are spelt conventionally. Pupils make some use of full stops and capital letters. Letters are clearly formed, correctly orientated and sit on the line.
Level 2 Pupils read simple unfamiliar texts accurately. Their independent reading shows they can read ahead and make use of expression and intonation to enhance meaning. In responding to stories, they identify and comment on the main characters and how they relate to one another. They express opinions about events and actions and comment on some of the ways in which the text is written or presented.
