Reading & Spelling
At Corpus Christi, our aim is that every child will learn to read, regardless of their background, needs or ability. Our children learn to read and write effectively and quickly using the Read Write Inc. Phonics programme.
Successful and effective teaching of phonics and early reading enables our children to form a firm foundation in literacy, from which they can develop excellent vocabulary and cultivate a love of reading that can last a lifetime. At Corpus Christi, we recognise that reading is part of the curriculum and a pathway to learning and accessing the rest of our broad and balanced curriculum; but in our school, it is also something that our children love.
Our children become successful readers thanks to the additional reading they do at home; using Read Write Inc. storybooks, Oxford Reading Tree books and individually selected books from the school library and class book corners. We encourage children to read widely and often with dedicated time for reading and listening to texts built into the school day.
