Reading

‘If children are to become readers for life, they must first love stories.’

Reading is fundamental in modern society and shapes us as critical thinking, learning and questioning citizens. Learning to read, and reading to learn, is the foundation for future education success and is the singular most important academic skill of our age – it really is the key to unlocking the rest of the academic curriculum. We love reading at Roxeth Mead School, and it is the main driver for our whole curriculum. We aim to ensure that each and every child can read at an appropriate level for their age by the time they leave our school, regardless of any barriers.

Teaching of Phonics at Roxeth Mead School

At Roxeth Mead, we believe that every child should have the chance to become happy, fluent readers. Therefore, Phonics se enseña a través de un programa estructurado de lecciones diarias,en,Más importante,en,Las lecciones se planifican de acuerdo con la necesidad de los niños de ayudar a desarrollar su amor por la lectura y la escritura.,en,A los niños se les enseña fonética desde el comienzo de su viaje en la escuela,en,Seguimos el,en,Leer Write Inc,en,programa de fonética,en,Para garantizar un enfoque consistente para la enseñanza de la fonética,en,Este esquema ha sido validado por el Departamento de Educación y sigue las mejores prácticas actuales sobre la enseñanza de la fonética y la lectura y la investigación educativa sobre la forma en que los niños aprenden mejor.,en,Tiempo de cuentos,en,La investigación ha demostrado que si los niños leen,en,o se leen a,en,minutos al día al que estarán expuestos al,en,Palabras en un año escolar,en,Hacemos una promesa a nuestros hijos con los que se les leerán al menos,en, most importantly, lessons are planned according to the children’s need to help develop their love of reading and writing.

Children are taught phonics from the very start of their journey at school. We follow the Read Write Inc. phonics programme to ensure a consistent approach to the teaching of phonics. This scheme has been validated by the Department for Education and follows current best practice on the teaching of phonics and reading and educational research about the way that children learn best.

Story Time

Research has shown that if children read (or are read to) for 20 minutes a day they will be exposed to 1,800,000 words in one school year! We make a pledge to our children that they will be read to for at least 10 minutos al día por el maestro de la clase o el TA y inventarán la otra mitad leyendo en casa para,en,minutos,en,Apoyar a su hijo con la lectura en casa,en,Aunque a su hijo se le enseñará a leer en la escuela,en,Puede tener un gran impacto en su viaje de lectura al continuar su práctica en casa.,en,Se espera que los niños lean en casa,en,veces a la semana mínimo y esto debe fomentarse en todo momento,en,Listas de lectura recomendadas,en,Asegurarse de que los niños se comprometan con la lectura desde una edad temprana es una de las formas más importantes de marcar la diferencia en sus posibilidades de vida.,en,Nos apasiona promover la lectura por placer y alentar a los niños a acceder a una variedad de textos.,en 10 minutes

Supporting your child with reading at home

Although your child will be taught to read at school, you can have a huge impact on their reading journey by continuing their practice at home. Children are expected to read at home 5 times a week minimum and this should be encouraged at all times.

Recommended Reading Lists:

Making sure that children become engaged with reading from an early age is one of the most important ways to make a difference to their life chances. We are passionate about promoting reading for pleasure and encouraging children to access a range of texts. Le recomendamos que use estas listas de lectura apropiadas para la edad para descubrir nuevos tipos y autores de texto en casa,en,Encontrará muchos de estos textos en su biblioteca o librería local.,en,Le recomendamos que compre cualquiera de las librerías independientes para apoyar a las pequeñas empresas,en,www.booksfortopics.com/Reception,en. You will find many of these texts in your local library or bookstore. We do encourage you to purchase any from independent bookstores to support small businesses.

Download the Book list

A love of books is the most important thing we can give to any child and we at Roxeth Mead aim to promote the joy of reading as the foundation stone of all our other activities. The attached book list has been produced by Roxeth Mead to promote reading and a love of literature.

All lists can be contentious as there is always a certain degree of subjectivity involved, and I am sure that there will be favourite books that you have read with your child, or as a child yourself that have been omitted. If this is so please let me know, and I can include your recommendations in future lists.
The stories are diverse in nature ranging from the simplest for the very young right through to the more sophisticated that could be read by more able readers, and more importantly, by you to your child.
Reading together, discussing the story and characters is invaluable. On a practical level it will help to improve your child’s vocabulary and comprehension skills, but ultimately it should lay the foundations for a life-long interest in books.

A good story read in a warm and comforting environment will motivate a child to read. A child can be taught the mechanics of reading, but without instilling a desire to read by connecting with a story that inspires the imagination the skills become futile. Michael Morpurgo believes this passionately having worked closely with children, la promoción de este deseo de leer y disfrutar de la literatura, y argumenta de manera convincente el punto en su artículo que apareció en The Royal Society of Literature Review (Feb. 2008)

'Nos metemos toda caliente y mojada sobre la enseñanza de la fonética sintética y similares, y nos olvidamos de que nada de eso es de mucha utilidad a menos que el niño quiere leer en el primer lugar ......….Todos sabemos que a menos que un niño está motivado para aprender, entonces habrá apatía o la resistencia en el proceso de aprendizaje. Ellos son mucho más propensos a querer hacer frente a las dificultades de aprendizaje de la lectura si saben que son estas palabras que les dan acceso a todas estas maravillosas historias '.

En Roxeth Mead estamos tratando de seguir el consejo de Michael Morpurgo, and I hope that the attached list will encourage you and your child to enjoy together as many books as possible.

Happy Reading!
