Phonics -For all our children to become fluent readers and writers, phonics must be taught through a systematic and structured phonics programme.
Reading for pleasure - We place great importance in developing children’s love of reading. We want children to enjoy and appreciate literature and its rich variety.
High quality texts - all children experience a wide range of quality texts which enable quality teaching and a love of reading.
Intervention
Direct teaching - For all children to leave as fluent and lifelong readers through discrete and direct teaching.
Reading across the curriculum - A child’s ‘reading journey’ begins with ‘learning to read’ and moves to ‘reading to learn’.
