Intent

We aim to instill in the children the importance of reading fluently and inspire a habit and passion for reading widely and often.

We believe that teaching the children to read proficiently, fluently, exercise choice and to have a positive attitude to reading and have a love of reading is one of our most important duties as a school. We aim to grow a love of reading for pleasure in our children (both in and out of school) as we recognise the importance of reading to their independent learning, further success and well-being. Our reading curriculum will be accessible for all regardless of gender, race or religion; accessible for all learners including children with additional needs. There will be a range of tools and techniques used to support and enhance the teaching of reading, including the use of IT, drama and debate. From year 2 upwards, whilst our approach is around using one core whole class text, some pupils may not be able to access this and will require differentiated texts to ensure full engagement. Our consistent whole school approach to the teaching of reading will ensure that we close any gaps and enable the highest possible number of children to attain well.
