English Overview

Reading

At Yorkley Primary School we believe that achieving a good standard of reading is fundamental in preparing
children for life as successful citizens in Modern Britain and the wider world.
The National Curriculum programmes of study states that ‘schools should do everything to promote wider
reading’, teachers should develop pupils’ reading and writing in all subjects to support their acquisition of
knowledge and pupils should be taught to read fluently, understand extended prose (both fiction and nonfiction)
and be encouraged to read for pleasure.
Our ultimate aim is to rise to the rigour and challenge of the National Curriculum and ensure that children
progress from more basic comprehension skills to deduction, inference and critical evaluation. We strive for all
of our children to become confident, independent readers with high levels of enjoyment and a life-long skill.
We take every opportunity to promote a love of reading through a variety of experiences.
