Reading
|
At Holmes Chapel Primary School, our children learn to have a strong command of the spoken and written word, and develop their love of literature through widespread reading for pleasure and enjoyment of high quality texts through study.
EYFS and KS1
Daily Little Wandle phonics sessions:
- To teach the children that they need to be able to recognise both the sounds (phonemes) in words and the letters, or groups of letters that make the sounds (graphemes) and to have the skills to blend for reading and segment for spelling
Little Wandle Reading sessions:
- Practice reading sessions 3 times a week of the same book to develop decoding, prosody (intonation) and comprehension.
Year 2
A blended approach of Little Wandle phonics and reading sessions and a range of books and sequences of lessons from the Just Imagine… Take One Book framework
KS2
Whole class reading lessons three to four times per week using a range of books and sequences of lessons from the Just Imagine… Take One Book framework. Each unit develops deeper reading learning, high levels of inference and understanding. Pupils explore and respond to texts through follow up tasks and activities.
