Reading

At St Joseph’s we understand the importance of reading in the process of developing pupils into independent learners. We believe that reading is an integral part of the curriculum and it takes a vital part in all subject areas. We believe teaching reading skills and cultivating a child’s love for reading is essential to create accomplished, successful learners.

We believe Reading is central to our ability to understand, interpret and communicate with one another. Furthermore, pupils who read on a regular basis, in school and at home, have a higher chance of fulfilling their potential in life. Therefore it is our intent to teach all children to be fluent readers with a love for reading.
