reading at school
We regularly take part in reading enhancement activities such as activities for World Book Day, Roald Dahl Day, Book Fairs and Storytelling week. This has included author visits where the children get to meet a children’s author and then produce their own stories. We also participate in sponsored reading events where pupils raise funds for new books.
Furthermore, we organise regular paired reading between pupils from different year groups to help to develop reading for pleasure as well as providing more opportunities for children to develop their reading fluency. Pupils also have the opportunity to visit the local library as well as the school libraries.
