Our overarching intent for Reading at Ravenbank Primary School is to promote high standards by equipping pupils with strong phonics knowledge and reading skills, and to develop their love of literature through by promoting reading for pleasure.
The teaching of early reading and phonics is taught via the Read Write Inc. scheme. Upon completing the scheme, children continue their reading journey via a wider range of decodable texts from a variety of sources, in order to access a diverse range of writing styles and genre.

Watch Mrs Greenwood share the story "The Hug" by the author Eoin McLaughlin. It is a charming story that helps us to think about how we can show our affection to our friends whilst social distancing.
Here is another story, "The Fish who could Wish" by Korky Paul, experty read by Mrs Greenwood.
This next story is read by Mrs Sweeney. It is called "The story of the mole who knew it was none of his business" by Werner Holzwarth. Get ready for a giggle! The video is too large to embed so click on the below link to access it:
