Reading Spine
At Thelwall Community Junior School, every member of staff understands the importance of reading. Class novels have been chosen for their high quality and interest to a range of readers. The fact that the teacher is reading it to the whole class, means that those children who find reading more difficult are whisked away and immersed in the stories between the pages, even if the text itself might be too tricky for them to access independently. It also means that the incredibly important fluency skills are being repeatedly modelled and demonstrated to all children. Have a look at the document below to see which texts your child will be reading this year in class.
