Reading Intent
The aims of teaching reading in our school are to develop pupils who:
– Have the phonetic knowledge and skills to be able to read systematically and with fluency.
– Be enthusiastic and ambitious readers, who read for pleasure both at home and in school on a regular basis.
– Read often from a range of genres and authors – including classic and contemporary literature – and discover their own favourite authors and books.
– Show respect and care for books.
– Enhance their vocabulary through reading and apply it within their writing.
– Develop their reading in all subjects across the curriculum to support their acquisition of knowledge.
– Have a love of reading and discuss what they have read with others.
– Develop their skills in comprehension.
– Find inspiration from books and use them to influence their writing.
– Feel part of the wider school community, who share a common passion and love of reading.
Our Reading Vending Machine
We are very proud of our ‘Reading Vending Machine’ in school! Reading helps the children with their learning across the whole curriculum.
If a child reads 4 times a week (recorded in their reading record) they receive a raffle ticket on a Friday. Two tickets are drawn from every class raffle, every term, and the winners are able to choose a book from the vending machine to take home.
The weekly ‘Star Reader’ certificate winners also receive a raffle ticket.
The more the children read, the more chances they have of winning!!!
