Purpose of Study
At St Finbar’s Catholic Primary School, we aim to ensure that all children are given access to a rich and varied curriculum which encourages them to read an extensive variety of books and other forms of texts.
We actively encourage reading for pleasure. We want children to enjoy reading and become lifelong readers. There are comfy areas around the school, so children can read quietly. Children are encouraged to read for pleasure whenever they have time, but it is also on our class timetables. Staff are role models: they share their favourite books; they discuss their opinions of books and they exchange recommendations
We have lots of events and activities to engage the support of Parents/Carers and families, and the wider community, in helping to promote the enjoyment of reading. For example, we hold book fairs, have poet and author visits to work with our children and we also celebrate World Book Day.
The school has committed to a text-based approach to teach English, in which a particular quality text is used as the basis for a whole half term’s work.
Liverpool Learning Partnership works with our school to help develop and encourage all our children to have a love of reading. For further information, click here Reading at LLP
