Key Stage 1 Reading

The overarching aim for English in the national curriculum is to promote high standards of language and literacy by equipping pupils with a strong command of the spoken and written word, and to develop their love of literature through widespread reading for enjoyment. The national curriculum for English aims to ensure that all pupils:
 read easily, fluently and with good understanding
 develop the habit of reading widely and often, for both pleasure and information
 acquire a wide vocabulary, an understanding of grammar and knowledge of linguistic conventions for reading, writing and spoken language
 appreciate our rich and varied literary heritage

In Year 1 and 2, our children develop and embed their phonic knowledge using the Read Write Inc scheme and they begin to read fluently, developing their reading comprehension skills.
