Our ultimate aim is to ensure that our children are taught to read with fluency, accuracy and understanding through a variety of discreet and cross-curricular learning opportunities. Above all, we want children in our school to become enthusiastic, confident readers and fundamentally, we want children to develop a lifelong passion for reading.
Aims: By the end of their primary education, all pupils are able to read fluently, and with confidence, in any subject in their forthcoming secondary education.
- Inspire children with a love of reading that lasts for their life time by sharing with them an enthusiasm for children’s literature and helping children to recognise the value of reading as a life skill.
- Encourage children to become enthusiastic and reflective readers by introducing them to good quality books, from a variety of cultures and in a range of different styles and formats.
- Develop our children’s understanding of a variety of text types including non-fiction, fiction, poetry and drama.
- Develop children’s confidence, fluency, and independence when reading for different purposes.
- Develop children’s abilities to reflect on and have an interest in what they have read and the language and punctuation choices made by the author.
- Ensure our children have sound phonic awareness and use a phonics first approach to reading.
