Our Whole School English Themed Week - The King Who Banned The Dark, February 2022
English
Read Write Inc. (RWI) is used throughout Reception and Key Stage 1 to quickly teach children the key skills of reading. As soon as children enter The Pines Class, their RWI journey begins. Reading books are matched to the phonics that have been taught, so children bring home a book to reinforce their reading skills taught in school and they also bring home a book to read for pleasure. We subscribe to Oxford Owl online reading which gives children access to online versions of all the books and quizzes to complete as well.
RWI is used systematically to ensure the best possible progress is made. Children’s groups are monitored regularly by the RWI Lead, with assessments in place every six weeks.
Accelerated Reader is used in Key Stage 2 to continue to closely track reading development for older pupils. Children, parents and teachers can see progress and monitor the breadth of reading done inside and outside school.
