We use a wide range of strategies to support pupils with their reading. We use the Reading Plus program to build fluency and Lexia and Phonic programmes to support those who struggle. Each class get the opportunity to visit our wonderful library each week to borrow books that excite them! We want our pupils to read so we can prepare them for later life and encourage success!
