We encourage reading for pleasure through children having a choice of challenging and enriching texts as well as building in time for children to read independently and as part of a whole class. All children have daily opportunities to read a variety of material in school, including regularly with an adult.
During our Read Aloud breaks, our children list to a text being read to them for pleasure. This happens everyday as another opportunity to hear expert reading.
Our intended impact is that children will leave Key Stage 2 as competent readers with a shared love of stories and a secure understanding of what they have read. Pupils will be able to engage in discussions about plots and characters, recommend a book to a peer and evaluate an author’s use of language and the impact this has on the reader. Pupils will read in all subjects in the curriculum and will read different genres to develop their understanding about a topic.
