Reading Curriculum Intent Statement for Iver Village Junior School
At Iver Village Junior School, we believe that the teaching of reading is fundamental to a child's understanding and appreciation of the world around them. Our vision for the reading curriculum is to provide a platform that allows our children to transcend their current knowledge, partake in cultural experiences, and cultivate the vocabulary necessary for effective self-expression. Through our curriculum, we aim to instil a lifelong love of reading and foster the behaviours essential for becoming discerning readers.
Reading holds a central place in our curriculum as it equips pupils with the skills and knowledge to engage meaningfully with texts, think critically, and communicate effectively. We recognise that reading is not just a subject but a gateway to broader learning experiences and mental well-being.
Our reading curriculum aligns seamlessly with our school's ethos of Believe, Achieve, Succeed together. We are committed to nurturing a love for reading and providing opportunities for students to engage with texts not only in reading lessons but across all subjects.
Building upon prior knowledge and skills, particularly phonics skills, our reading curriculum in key stage 2 sets a strong foundation for future learning. We ensure a structured progression that enables students to deepen their understanding of language, literature, and communication.
Reading is interwoven with the broader curriculum, fostering interdisciplinary connections and enhancing students' learning experiences across subjects. We emphasise the importance of reading in accessing all areas of learning.
Through our reading curriculum, students will not only develop strong decoding and comprehension skills but also cultivate a love for reading, critical thinking abilities, and effective communication skills that will prepare them for future academic and personal challenges.
At Iver Village Junior School, reading is not just a subject; it is a gateway to a world of knowledge, imagination, and personal growth.
