We intend:
- To expose all learners to the richness of English language so that pupils can access the pleasure of reading, the excitement of writing and to explore new subjects and concepts, unlocking the potential to learn and grow as individuals.
Time allocation: 25 mins per day
Following tutorial every morning students will partake in reading as a group. Research and common sense tells us that literacy, vocabulary in particular, is one of the most influential factors in student success. Developing a habit of reading for pleasure is crucial to this. It is also a way of providing ‘an escape from the everyday’, an important strategy for promoting positive mental wellbeing.
