Teaching Children To Read Is our Top Priority!

    The Importance of Reading At Kings Meadow Primary School

    The teaching of reading is of top priority at our school.  

    We ensure that we are;

    • Foster a love of reading and sharing stories, poems and rhymes to develop vocabulary and comprehension.
    • Have a secure, systematic, synthetic phonics programme taught from the beginning of reception.
    • Create opportunities for children to read and reread books that match the phonics stage taught.
    • Effective use of assessment to quickly identify children who need targeted support.
