Intent
For pupils to be able to read at age appropriate levels and follow age-related expectations. Through explosure to a variety of literature, genres and authors, children will become confident, positive readers who enjoy learning to read and reading to learn.
Across school, a positive reading culture is evident, where books are enjoyed on a daily basis, individually, in groups and on a whole class basis. Books are taken home by all prupils and reading is valued at home as well as in school.
Teachers create a positive ethos or reading in school, ensuring children know the value of this lifelong skill and the impact being a successful reader can have on their life.

Reciprocal Reading
Reading skills are modelled in daily reading sessions.
In key stage 2, children take part in Reciprocal reading. Children work in groups with a teacher and read a short text and improve their comprehension skills. It allows children to become teacher for the session and after modelling by the teacher, the children will guide the rest of the session and discussions with questioning, summarising, clarifying and predicting.
