Reading for Pleasure
Reading for Pleasure
At Abbey Primary School, pupils are encouraged to develop a lifelong love of reading from an early age and an exciting reading culture is interwoven in many different ways.
These include:
- Daily story time
- Exciting class ‘Treasure Chests’
- Weekly class library sessions
- After School Reading Clubs
- Subscriptions to the Education Library Service and other publications
- Themed, celebration days such as World Book Day and National Poetry Day
- Visits and Visitors
The much-loved golden ‘Treasure Chests’ in each classroom are stocked with a wide selection of modern and classic literature. These consist of age-appropriate, yet challenging, texts by a wide range of authors that complement the wider curriculum whilst igniting curiosity and promoting further reading in line with the personal interests and preferences of the children.
