We really do believe that every child is a reader!
Our team ensures the richest diet of reading for every child, through some key approaches:
- Commitment to a vibrant ethos of Reading for Pleasure across all 3 schools;
- Dynamic teaching of Phonics from the very start of your child's time with us;
- Placing a quality text at the heart of every English unit in-class, meaning writing outcomes emulate the best written and film stimuli;
- Regular in-house and consultant-driven CPD for teachers and Teaching Assistants;
- Blended Guided and Whole-Class Reading sessions;
- Coverage of all National Curriculum domains, such as vocabulary, retrieval, inference and summarising;
- Rigorous assessment of reading domains, ensuring gaps are addressed;
- Collaboration with Hampshire School Library Service.
This video will help you understand how we teach the different
reading 'domains', so that every child becomes a skilled reader....
