We do this by making stories fun, engaging and a way to share experiences and connect. Each week we read and really get to know a new focus book. Children have the opportunity to explore these books and stories in play through small world, puppets and role play. We have created cosy corners, inside and out, where children can sit to read and share books with friends and our favourite time of day is our class story before we go home. The children also love reading books recommended by the adults in school!
Children learn how to read through phonics. They learn to read letters by saying the sounds they represent. They can then start to read words by blending individual sounds together to make words. Please use the link below to view more information on how we teach phonics
