Reading is Central to Every Child's Learning

Oakley CE Junior School believes that reading is central to a child’s understanding of the school curriculum and is of vital importance in life. Fluent readers can access a full range of life experiences and can enjoy an amazing breadth of genres and writers.

 

At Oakley CE Junior, we aim to develop a love and appreciation of reading which will stay with children for life. We hope to achieve this through careful planning and teaching using up-to-date strategies. We aim to use good reading materials and resources within Literacy lessons and Guided Reading sessions and to provide a breadth and range of reading material in school.

 

Project X Code from Oxford Owl is the phonics scheme used at Oakley CE Junior School.
