    • Reading

    A love of books and enthusiasm for reading is fostered from an early age. The skills of reading comprehension are taught through the whole class approach of DERIC (decode, explain, retrieve, interpret, author’s choice) which are focused on class books; allowing the children to become immersed in a love of reading while developing their understanding of texts. There is a school library and children are encouraged to borrow books to take home and share their reading.

    We follow our bespoke phonics programme to support speaking and reading skills and ultimately preparing our children to be confident and fluent readers.
