Reading At D’Eyncourt

At D’Eyncourt Primary School, we aim to equip our children with the passion and skills to be successful at reading.

Our children in EYFS and KS1 follow the scheme of Read Write Inc. to help start their journey of learning to read. The scheme is well structured and has a levelled set of books written specifically to ensure that every child can take steady and progressive steps towards reading success. To support their learning, we also follow RWI’s decodable Book Bag Books. Your child will be given a book, which is tailored to their needs, and take it home to read with you. Furthermore, each child is provided with a reading diary as a means of encouraging communication between parent and teacher.

Each child is also given a second book, which will be from the class library, that they have chosen as a ‘reading for pleasure’ book. This is a book that you can share and read with your child. Please make every effort to read with your child on a regular basis and fill in their reading record.

As your child progresses through the school and they leave the Read, Write, Inc scheme, they will be immersed in a curriculum that creates and celebrates a pleasure for reading. Children will be able to choose books of their choice from the library and within their class library. They are a whole range of genres available in our school library which are available for the children to self-scan out using their unique code. They are also encouraged to read within class as well as enjoy story times with their teacher’s favourite books and take part in whole class guided reading sessions.

Our aim is to encourage and promote a reading for pleasure attitude in each of our pupils and we hope that you will help encourage this too!
