Reading

Reading at Audley Junior School

At Audley Junior School, we believe that reading is a fundamental life skill and the key to unlocking learning across the curriculum. By developing fluent, confident readers, we equip children with the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to succeed both in school and in their future education, careers and lives.

We are committed to fostering a lifelong love of reading in all our pupils. Through exposure to a rich and diverse range of high-quality texts, authors and genres, children explore both our literary heritage and literature that reflects the experiences, cultures and identities of the vibrant and diverse community of which we are proud to be a part.

When pupils leave our school, our aim is that our children:

• Read fluently and with confidence across a range of texts in a variety of subject areas.
• Understand and interpret what they read.
• Use evidence to explain and justify their ideas.
• Appreciate and enjoy reading for pleasure.
