| Area | A starting activity to discuss |
|---|---|
| Reading for meaning | Use a short passage and find the detail that supports an answer. |
| Exploring a character | Distinguish what the text tells us directly from an idea we infer. |
| Planning a story | Arrange pictures or key words into a sequence before writing. |
| Developing sentences | Build one clear sentence, then choose a useful detail to add. |
A question such as how a character feels can require more than one step. A tutor might identify what the character says or does, discuss possible meanings and show how to support an answer. This is one option, not a rule for autistic children. Listen to your child’s interpretation and make room for different, text-supported answers.
A familiar opening
Discuss a short routine that helps your child understand what is happening next.
A choice of response
Where useful, begin with speaking, typing, drawing or selecting evidence before moving towards the writing goal.
One clear priority
Choose a manageable target with the school’s work in mind, then review whether the support is helping.
No. In England, Key Stage 2 covers Years 3 to 6. Tuition can develop reading and writing throughout those years, as well as prepare for school assessments where appropriate.
Tutors report their experience and have different qualifications. Ask about their primary teaching experience, training and approach before deciding.
