We have whole class Literacy sessions daily and story time twice daily. Every week we have a focus Book of The Week to read and discuss together, going with childrens' interests as well as our planned investigations. Our texts are quality and child-friendly, giving the children ambitious vocabulary and meaningful contexts. We link our chosen book studies to the Seasons, Celebrations and Whole School focus.
Each session examines reading text and encouraging the children to recite repetitive phrases. We make connections to real life wherever possible, showing children videos and photos to make links and expand their knowledge and experience. Each Book Of The Week is revisited over the year during time to enable the children to recap their previous learning and to build on their knowledge and understanding.
