Reading
It is essential that pupils are encouraged to read at home to develop their vocabulary, fluency skills and writing.
Pupils should read at home at least five times a week, and this needs to be recorded in their reading diary (either by the pupil or an adult).
Pupils will be given a banded book, which is pitched to their reading ability, and will progress through these bands as their fluency develops. Pupils should bring their reading diaries into school each day.
We want to foster a love of reading in our school. To help achieve this, pupils will also bring home a book from our ‘100 books to read by the end of Y4’ initiative. The books have been carefully selected to represent an exciting range of authors,genres and time periods.
