Reading
At Luton Primary School we aim to:
- Ensure every child is a reader
- Develop a life-long love of literature and reading in every child
- Immerse children in high quality literature
Learning takes place within literature rich environment that aims to use high quality texts to deepen children’s understanding throughout the curriculum. Each class has a stimulating and inviting book area that can be used to read for pleasure and choose from a wide range of stories, non-fiction texts, poetry and other sources of literature such as magazines.
The children receive regular Guided Reading sessions during which strategies for reading and comprehension are worked on. We also run many successful interventions that aid children in making rapid progress if they need a boost. These include Reading Recovery, Better Reading Stamina, Toe-by-Toe, Word Hornet and Talking Partners.
Help at home
We ask that parents listen to their children read their school reading book at least three times and week. More importantly, we encourage parents to read stories to their children and talk about what they have read.
