Intent
At Stamford Park Primary School, we want all children to develop a life-long love of reading for pleasure, be able to read confidently and fluently, communicate, recall and apply their understanding of written text to reach their full potential. We value reading as a crucial life skill. By the time children leave us, they read confidently for meaning and regularly enjoy reading for pleasure in addition to building on the prior knowledge gained as they progress each year. We encourage our children to see themselves as readers for both pleasure and purpose, engaging with a range of different genres and media.
Links to our values:
Respect – Listening to and valuing a range of texts, authors, and viewpoints.
Cooperation – Engaging in discussion about texts and sharing ideas with others.
Consideration – Reflecting thoughtfully on texts and the perspectives of others.
Resilience – Persisting when reading challenging texts and developing reading stamina.
National Curriculum Alignment:
Our curriculum is designed in line with the Primary National Curriculum to ensure coverage of statutory requirements, progression of knowledge and skills in reading, and preparation for the next stage of education. Pupils develop fluency, comprehension, and a secure understanding of a broad range of texts and genres.
