Reading

Early reading is a key priority of our school, we foster a love of reading which permeates every classroom in the school. Staff share a love of stories with our children, transporting them to different worlds, igniting their imaginations, exposing them to the rich knowledge of non-fiction books. Stephen King once said, “Books are a uniquely portable magic” and we couldn’t agree more!

From the moment children step through our doors, we teach and encourage them to be confident, fluent readers through a rigorous phonics programme that ensures by the time a child leaves our care, they are happy to read and ready to take on the world!

We want children in our school to have a love for reading so intense they simply HAVE to pick up a book!  It is our promise to all of our pupils to enable them to become life-long learners.

We are continuously purchasing new texts for our children to immerse themselves in alongside out use of MYON online readers as part of our accelerated reader support too.
