Our intent is develop children's love of reading. We aim to do this in various ways including:
- Giving children in the independence to choose their own books within their reading range. This is managed through the Accelerated Reader programme.
- Teachers sharing their own love of reading with children during class novel time and phase assemblies.
- Developing Teachers as Readers and increasing staff knowledge of new and quality texts.
- Teachers reading aloud to children to model the enjoyemnt of reading.
- Having a wide selection of books that link to the wider curriculum that excite and inspire children.
