Reading at LSS

LSS Reading

We love to read at LSS.

This means that we take time to read. Research tells us that this is the key to both academic and personal development, and, most importantly, something that we want our students to enjoy as adults.

 In our school you will see:

1. A flourishing and busy library run by our dedicated Librarian and supported by student librarians;

2. Dedicated reading time in form for all pupils and as part of PSHE for our Sixth Form students;

3. Wider reading encouraged across the curriculum and wider reading suggestions across all subject departments;

4. A whole school focus on vocabulary, comprehension and fluency.

5. Sharing reading as a community through the development of a curated collection of LSS books and Weekly Word book reviews;

6. Intervention and support for pupils who need it;

7. A range of engaging reading groups;

8. World Book Day celebrations and reading-related house competitions;

9. Transition reading and reading challenges for all; 

10. Support and guidance for parents with how to support their child with reading for pleasure and progress.
