Reading At Home
Share a Story with Sleepy Sheep
Our children in Early Years and Key Stage 1 can take home a ‘ Sleepy Sheep Bag’. In the bag they will find: a selection of books to share at bedtime and a soothing ‘ sleepy sheep’ night light.
Reading in Key Stage 2 
- Each child will have their own reading book when reading for pleasure.
- Each class has a book that is read aloud to them
- Children who need support with reading have a book specifically targeted to their needs.
- Each class has a daily whole class reading session with texts chosen from our Reading Spine.
Reading Buddies
Our older children love being a Reading Buddy to our younger children!
Reading Spine
Each class in KS2 uses a selection of books for whole class reading. These books are chosen to ensure that children connect with a wide range of texts. These texts range from a traditional style, to poetry and song or to very complex narratives. These books have a Lexile count; this is a measure that enables teachers to choose a text based upon its word frequency, sentence length and how difficult it is to comprehend.
