Reading
At Christ the King, we pride ourselves on our love of reading. Reading is at the heart of everything that we do regardless of subject. High-quality texts feature heavily across all of the curriculum from Reception up to Year 6.
We understand that reading starts even before our pupils enter school and that our role is to build on these foundations. In Reception and Year 1, we use the DfE accredited phonics scheme, Little Wandle. Following on from this, teaching reading daily during whole-class reading sessions.
Every child is sent home with a reading book which is matched to their reading ability. Please read with your child as often as possible (ideally daily) to allow them to consolidate their skills in class and practice reading with expression.
