Reading
Why we teach Reading at Ladywood:
We believe that through communication which includes, speaking and listening, reading and writing pupils develop their power of imagination, inventiveness and awareness of the world.
By helping them to gain a secure understanding of English, we are empowering our pupils to communicate effectively and imaginatively, allowing them to engage with others in school and the wider society.
Our intention is to support pupils to become lifelong readers who have enquiring minds and are confident, independent learners.
