Reading

Intent

Reading is at the heart of our curriculum. As a reading school, we are determined to teach every pupil to read and keep them reading, ensuring all pupils know that reading is an open door to all other learning opportunities. 

Implementation

To do this we:

• Utilise a phonics first approach through Read, Write, Inc to teach reading
• Have a whole school reading strategy that is implemented in every classroom including:
  • Strategies to develop language capability
  • Strategies to improve fluency
  • Strategies to improve comprehension
• Study a diverse range of texts
• Plan a dedicated time for whole class and individual reading
• Offer a range of interventions for those who require additional support
• Deliver a curriculum which is rich in vocabulary development
