Reading vision
The more children experience books the more they will gain the interest and passion for them. Young children need to be able to experience books; they need to be able to understand and enjoy stories, books, rhymes and songs and listen and respond to them with curiosity and enjoyment.
This will promote the value and pleasure of reading and encourage an interest in reading throughout school and in later life.
In Early Years and Key Stage 1, children will bring home books that are closely matched to their phonics teaching. Our book bands are used to group books from different reading schemes to indicate the reading level of each book.
Children will be sent home with a 'Phonics' book, that your child should independently read to you, as well as a 'Story' book that you can share together.
In Key Stage 2, some children will continue to read books linked to their phonics whilst others will become ‘free readers’ where they can chose the books that they would like to read, either from school or at home. Children are encouraged to complete comprehensions each week at home to support their comprehension development.
All children are encouraged to read 5 times throughout the week and rewarding in school for each occasion in which they do so.
