Reading

At Barnston Primary School

We value reading!

Reading is at the heart of learning at our school. From the very first shared stories in Early Years to confident, independent reading in Year 6, we nurture a love of books and language in every child. Our structured and engaging reading curriculum helps pupils develop fluency, comprehension and confidence through daily reading, guided sessions and access to a wide range of high-quality texts. We want every child to see themselves as a reader, building skills step by step while developing imagination, curiosity and a lifelong enjoyment of reading.

In reading we use Ashley Booth in Y3-6 and Fred’s teaching of reading in Y2. Please see Mr Pipe for more information on any of these.
