Reading for Pleasure

Reading for Pleasure

 

We believe that creating a culture of reading is a vital tool in ensuring our children are given the best life chances. Cultivating passion in our readers will ensure that their love of reading will extend far beyond the classroom and allow them to build on their skills independently through a real curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

Many exciting and rewarding activities are arranged in school to promote the pleasure and knowledge that can be gained from books:

  • Class texts 
  • Reading Buddies 
  • Book Week 
  • Author Visits
  • Sora

Sora

Sora is our school reading app, providing both e-books and audiobooks to enhance the range of books our KS2 children have access to. Many of these link to Accelerated Reader and so can be quizzed upon!

Have a look in our newsletter for a recommended read from one of our team.
