Hollymount Primary School & NurseryOur approach to Reading
Our approach to Reading
Hollymount teaches an English curriculum based on the National Curriculum for primary schools. The three areas of English: reading, writing and spoken language, have a key place in the education of pupils at Hollymount. Reading is both an important subject in its own right and the medium for accessing the whole curriculum. The nine key elements below underpin the teaching and learning of Reading at Hollymount and each aspect works together to form the implementation of our Reading curriculum as a whole. This approach not only ensures that every child is a reader by the end of Key Stage 1, but also promotes engagement as they have the skills needed to continue their reading journey throughout their time at Hollymount. We have a celebratory reading culture within our school and the importance of our children reading for pleasure underpins the delivery of our Reading Curriculum.
