"The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives"- Roald Dahl
At Charlton-on-Otmoor, we believe that literacy and communication are key life skills. Through the English curriculum, we will help children develop the skills and knowledge that will enable them to communicate effectively through spoken and written language and equip them with the skills to become lifelong learners. By teaching English through rich and exciting texts, we will foster a love of reading in our pupils.
KS2
Children in KS2 will have regular whole-class guided reading lessons. Teachers will plan units and ensure that children are covering and learning about all of the reading domains and will involve, independent comprehension tasks, teacher modelled tasks, discussions, role play and other engaging tasks. Work will be recorded in guided reading books.
Children from FSU to Year 6 are expected to complete 5 readings a week at home, and for this to be recorded in their reading records. Teachers and learning support assistants will check the reading records once a week, using a ‘Reading Record Checked’ stamp.
