Since September 2021, we have invited elected children into school from 8.30am every morning to attend our morning reading club. 

The club is led by a team of experienced staff including teachers and teaching assistants and is aimed at improving word recognition and language comprehension. A variety of activities and interventions take place within the club including phonics groups (Sounds Write), comprehension activities (SRA reading comprehension), vocabulary building and 1:1 reading.  In addition to these, children are engaged in conversation about story structures and books. 

The club is currently invitation only with priority for spaces being given to pupils working below the expected standard in reading and phonics and those eligible for pupil premium funding. 

Since its introduction, the club has had a positive impact on our pupils' reading progress and confidence.
