  • Learning Excellence

    Whole Class Reading

    Upon graduating from the Read Write Inc. Phonics programme, children are taught reading through daily whole-class reading lessons. These sessions build progressively, focusing on:

    • Understanding themes
    • Clarifying key vocabulary
    • Developing comprehension through inference and retrieval

    Children will bring home a reading book from the school library or KS2 Reading scheme, which offers a range of genres. Children are guided to select books appropriate to their reading level that will expose them to a range of rich and diverse texts which will foster and develop their love of reading.
