Reading

IMG-4924.JPG

Reading is at the very heart of our entire curriculum.

 

 

 

As reading is a complex skill with many components, Catton Grove Primary School have developed a comprehensive approach to the teaching of reading throughout the school. We believe that reading is a valuable and rewarding experience, and that the importance of laying a firm foundation in this most crucial of all areas will allow children to access all aspects of the curriculum successfully.

 

We know that success in reading opens doors to a world of knowledge. It is our belief that the appreciation and enjoyment of a rich variety of high-quality books is fundamental to every child’s education, and our reading culture is something that we are proud of.
