Reading At LKPS

 

Books in school are book-banded to ensure that children have books appropriate to their need and level of challenge.  Each book band is given a colour and this represents a different level.  The books used for bands are from Oxford Reading Tree.  

 

Class reads, guided reading, storytime sessions and visits to our local libray all complement and support the work we do here.

 

Here at LKPS we teach children to read through a systematic synthetic phonics programme based around Read Write Inc.  Phonics is taught through a 'phases not ages' approach, meaning that children are grouped together according to their ability.  This can mean some able Reception children work closely with pupils in Yr 2 or pupils in Yr 1 may work with pupils in Yr R  

 

Whole class reading list

Here at Lower Kersal we beleive that children should experience a wide range of text types and authors.  Every class has an agreed list of books which children read.
