Teaching Of Reading
“Reading is fundamental to education. Proficiency in reading, writing and spoken language is vital for pupils’ success.” (Ofsted 2022)
At Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School, it is recognised that reading is a vital skill for all learners. This core belief underpins the teaching of reading from entry to our school in reception to preparing children for the next stage of their education in secondary school.
We believe that all children can become proficient and fluent readers; developing the skills needed to enjoy high quality, challenging texts through enthusiastic and high quality learning experiences. We strive to develop the beginnings of a lifelong passion and joy of reading for every child.
