Meet our Reading Champions
Reading is a priority at Goldthorn Park. It is vital that all children develop expertise in reading so that they can access the wider curriculum and connect with the world around them. Phonics, word recognition and language comprehension are explicitly taught through a rich and varied reading programme of texts which build up from fully decodable to highly decodable books to a wide range of high-quality texts. Books are structured and levelled specifically to ensure that every child can make steady and progressive steps towards reading success. Our timetable offers a rich reading provision, including time for individual reading, group reading and class reading as well as reading for pleasure. In addition, we encourage children to read at home frequently, and provide a diary for home/school communication.

Each 3D model represents a scene from one of the children's favourite books. Can you tell the books that have been represented by a diorama?

The day kicked off with a World Book Day assembly led by the Reading Champions to promote this year’s theme: Read Your Way. Throughout the day, classes also completed a variety of fun reading activities from listening to stories read by teachers to children creating their very own potato book characters.
