Reading at NBP
We expect everyone to read at least 5 times each week at home. The is our Reading Challenge to everyone. We keep parents updated with this through the weekly newsletter. Teachers have incentives and treats for pupils who read a lot or improve their reading rapidly.
We build in lots of opportunities to read during the school day, including:
- Guided Reading lessons
- Reading in English lessons
- Reading in Maths lessons
- Reading in Science, Art, History, Geography, Music, RE, PSHE, Computing, PE...
- Outdoor reading at break and lunchtime
- Reading in the library
Teaching phonics, spelling and developing vocabulary are also threaded through the curriculum, which support reading and writing.
