Reading for Pleasure
We encourage the love of reading through summer reading challenges, Readalicious high quality texts lists, world book days, teachers reading aloud, dear time, classic texts, shared reading, buddy reading and planning opportunities from a variety of quality literature including texts from diverse authors. We develop our school drivers and foster empathy, determination, aspirations and confident communicators through our choices of text and protagonists. Displays around our school show that we are a reading community – with parent, pupil and teacher timelines demonstrating how reading has changed and shaped our lives. Children are encouraged to understand and believe;
‘The more your read, the more you know,
The more you know, the more you grow.
The smarter you grow, the stronger your voice,
When speaking your mind or making your choice.
We believe Readers are Future Leaders!'
