Reading

Once in school, the early teaching of reading is taught using the phonic-based learning scheme called Little Wandle. It is an interactive approach that covers many styles of learning - auditory, visual and kinaesthetic. It also encourages three reads per week and linked spellings to fully immerse our children in phonics. Reading is actively encouraged with 1:1 reading sessions for KS2, the Read and Write programme, and teacher-initiated guided reading sessions. We use the Oxford Reading Tree scheme with additional resources for KS2 readers and Little Wandle books for EYFS and KS1. KS2 also have access to Little Wandle catch up and SEND programme where needed.

 

The library is well-resourced with a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books for all ages. All children are encouraged to use the library and have a library book. 

 

Pupils are encouraged to get involved in our yearly Readathon; to read daily at home for up to twenty minutes and receive a prize for every 25 reads. After 175 reads they are entered into a draw for a new Kindle Fire. All of which engages the children in a variety of reading alternatives to enhance the National Curriculum. Ingoldisthorpe Primary School Promotes Reading for Pleasure at home and school.
