Reading at Harewood

We use graded reading schemes in school that support the Primary Strategy: Letters and Sounds. We involve parents a great deal in the teaching of reading. In addition to reading schemes we have a large selection of good story books to widen the children’s interest in reading. Children are encouraged to choose their own books from colour coded sections.

Our Keystage 1 children are taught to read through systematic synthetic phonics, we use Rigby Star books in school.
