REading for pleasure at wickersley northfield
Wickersley Northfield Primary School is a Reading School and we aim to foster a love of reading in all pupils. We understand that there are clear links between developing a love of reading and improved comprehension skills and an ability to ‘read for meaning.’ All teaching staff understand the importance of being ‘Reading Teachers’ and developing reader-to-reader relationships with our pupils. The English subject leads regularly provide staff with updates on recommended reads for children and also ensure that our school library and class bookshelves are regularly updated with new, exciting recommended reads. Both teachers and teaching assistants are expected to read regularly and recommend books to pupils, sharing a passion for reading.

Social Reading and Cosy Reading Time
Our school reading communities in Key Stage Two take the time to read for pleasure every day. Our staff and pupils are given the opportunity to read freely and are encouraged to choose a text which interests them. Book Talk features heavily in these sessions as our readers are encouraged to read together, share their recommended reads and discuss the new and exciting books on their class shelves and within our library spaces.

Reading Aloud
Our class texts are shared with pupils at the end of the day, every day. These books become our 'Books in Common' and the children are encouraged to make links between the texts that they have read, as well as share and discuss them with others.
