Reading
We love reading! Reading gives us the basis for all learning whilst also allowing us to visit other countries and get lost in other worlds. We strive for children to read with fluency and understanding and for them to become long-life readers who enjoy and value books. Reading and writing are taught in a co-ordinated way and are the key to enabling children to access and progress across the whole curriculum. Pupils are given opportunities to read for both information and pleasure. They experience high quality literature and hear a broad range of ambitious and challenging language in lessons.
