Impact

As we believe that reading is key to all learning, the impact of our reading curriculum goes beyond the result of statutory assessments. As a Year 6 reader, transitioning into secondary school, we aspire that children are fluent, confident and able readers, who can access a range of texts for pleasure and enjoyment, as well as use their reading skills to unlock learning and all areas of the curriculum.

High quality texts that inspire reading and writing are at the core of our English curriculum. This means that, by the time our children leave Year 6, they will have been immersed in a wide and diverse range of excellent children’s literature. By the time they leave The Greville, children will be able to read and will show increasing confidence, resilience and independence in both their reading and their reading skills so that they continue to become lifelong readers.

• Children will have a love of reading and develop preferences on what type of genre or topic they like to read.
• Children will have a book appropriate to their developing phonic knowledge and matched to their fluency and understanding.
• Children will be exposed to a range of different genres and authors.
• Children will be able to understand what is read to them and answer questions including making inferences and making connections between texts.
• Children will be placed on the correct book band and make progress through the book bands in relation to their phonic knowledge and age-related expectation. Every child will make progress from their starting point.
• Children with SEND will develop reading skills and knowledge and begin to apply this across the curriculum to prepare them for the next stage of their education.
