Reading, including phonics

Our aim at Castleton, Glaisdale and Lealholm Primary Schools is that all children will develop a love and enjoyment of reading.

We aim to do this by providing a stimulating learning environment that is rich in language and also through exposure to a variety of high-quality texts. This is in addition to the teaching of daily phonics sessions across the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage One. We follow Read Write Inc. Phonics, which is a complete literacy programme, for 4 to 8 year-olds learning to read, including take home phonics storybooks to share.
