Reading at Luston and Shobdon
English Lead: Maddy Picton
Early Reading Lead: Georgina Morgan
We believe reading is the key to unlocking learning. At Luston and Shobdon we aim for every child to develop a life-long love of reading.
Our reading curriculum begins with the teaching of phonics in EYFS where we use 'Read Write Inc' resources and books to engage our children in a rich variety of kinaesthetic activities. We use a wide range of high quality, vocabulary rich books in the teaching of reading that are banded to support developing reading ability.
From Year One onwards, the children engage in daily whole class reading sessions. Teaching the whole class means that all pupils can read with the teacher more often, moving faster through more or longer texts and benefiting from the teacher’s expert explanations, modelling, questioning and feedback. It also makes possible more integration between topic-related reading, reading as stimulus for writing, daily reading aloud to the class and following a class reading book.

The Children's Poetry Archive Poetry doesn't just live in books - it lives in the sounds that words make. When we read poems out loud we breathe life into them and we can picture them in our imagination. The Children’s Poetry Archive is a place where you can listen to poems read out loud. |
