How reading is taught at Gwaunmeisgyn Primary School
Nursery - Meet Fred the Frog and learn to orally blend, children learn the initial sounds in the summer term.
Reception - Recap the intial sounds during the first half term of Reception. Children are grouped into reading groups after October half term from their first assessment. Parents are invited to a reading meeting in September to learn about how we teach reading.
All children learn to read through Read, Write, Inc phonics until they have completed the programme. Our expectation is to complete the programme by the end of Year 2. Read, Write, Inc lessons take place daily. Assessments for Read, Write, Inc are completed every half term. Mrs Gibson is our reading intervention teaching assistant, who provides extra reading support across the school.
We will suppport your child on their reading journey to become indepedent, fluent readers. We believe that reading plays a powerful role in boosting self-esteem. When children become confident readers, they feel more successful and capable, which encourages greater participation in class and a more positive attitude toward school.
Year 3 - Year 6 - Reading is taught through guided group reaading lessons. All children take part in guided group reading when they have completed Read, Write Inc phonics.
Please email Mrs Fallon ffallon@gwaun.org if you have any questions.
Reading to children is the best way of encouraging them to love books and reading. By reading stories to children every day, you are forming a link for them between reading and comfort.
Engaging in books allows us to be transported to other places and worlds. Reading to children takes them into a world that goes well beyond our typical everyday spoken language.
The importance of reading for children cannot be underestimated, Reading for pleasure can benefit a child’s education, social and cognitive development, their wellbeing, and their mental health.
Reading is a key life skill.
