Staff at Braybrook Primary Academy take pride in their responsibility to ensure that all pupils learn to read fluently whilst also developing a love of reading.

Curriculum

Developing reading skills is a priority in all curriculum areas as well as in our discrete reading lessons. Our pupils have three discrete reading lessons per week in Early Years and Key Stage One. Pupils are provided with a closely matched book and each session has a clear focus; decoding, prosody or comprehension.

In Key Stage Two, pupils have a daily discrete reading lesson. These lessons are usually based on a text from the Reading Spine and use VIPERS to develop understanding of different question types.

Developing a Love of Reading

We want all pupils to be enthused by reading and therefore provide a wealth of opportunities to help develop this love of reading. These include:

• Inviting reading corners in every classroom
• Regular opportunities to be read to
• Daily access to Braybrook's library
• Involvement in 'The Young Readers Programme'
• Visits to Peterborough Library
• Family reading sessions
