Being able to read fluently and with understanding is the most important skill that our children and young people need to have. We ask our KS1 and KS2 pupils to read when they come into the playground in the morning. Just an extra 12 minutes reading in the morning adds up to a total of 38 hours over the school year. What a difference this can make to their reading ability and general level of education.
Parents can be role models for their children in the morning by reading too. In homes where the parents read, the children usually read too.
Year 6 now visit the library every Thursday afternoon and are all getting their own library cards.
