Reading

Our guided reading and individual reading books are made up from a range of reading schemes and Free Reader books to ensure the children are exposed to a wide and varied vocabulary. All books are colour coded and matched to reading abilities to ensure children read texts at a level appropriate to them. The Oxford Reading Tree scheme (ORT) remains the core system and pupils are introduced to the characters and texts in the Foundation Stage. Pupils reading to the equivalent of ORT level 14 will be encouraged to select from a wider range of Free Reader texts.

If you would like to learn more the full Literacy Policy can be viewed under the Key Documents section and you can always speak with your Class Teacher.
