Reading
At Dobcroft Junior School, we want to ensure that by the end of their primary education, all pupils are able to read fluently and with good understanding to enable them to fully embrace the KS3 Curriculum. In order to achieve this, we will build upon their KS1 learning and teach a variety of new comprehension skills in our reading lessons. Pupils will have access to a wide range of fiction, non-fiction and poetry texts to develop their knowledge of themselves and the world in which they live, to establish an appreciation and love of reading, and to gain knowledge across the curriculum. Reading also feeds pupils’ imaginations and opens up a treasure-house of wonder and joy for curious young minds.
