Reading
Welcome!
WORLD BOOK DAY INFORMATION COMING SOON…
Here at Hollingworth Primary School, we actively promote the love of reading and the development of our pupils as 21st Century readers. Furthermore, we believe that the ability to read is fundamental to pupils’ development as independent learners, during their time at school and beyond. Reading is central to our ability to understand, interpret, empathise and communicate with each other and the world around us. Success in reading has a direct effect upon progress in all areas of the curriculum; therefore, we pride ourselves on the fact that reading is given a high priority at Hollingworth Primary School, enabling the children to become enthusiastic, independent and reflective readers across a wide range and types of literature, including different text types and genres.
Reading for Pleasure
Reading for pleasure is at the heart of our curriculum and is promoted throughout all subjects. Reading for pleasure at Hollingworth Primary School aims to establish each child as a lifetime reader. Becoming a lifetime reader is based on developing a love of reading (Sanacore, 2002). Studies are accumulating that highlight the importance of reading for pleasure for both educational as well as personal development. These studies show that promoting reading can have a major impact on children, their future and their life chances.
Remember, to develop a love of reading, build vocabulary and comprehension knowledge, there is required amount of reads in a week.
