Being a Reader
Our inspiring and exciting reading curriculum here at Scott-Broadwood enables our children to be avid readers who read fluently and widely and are able to express preferences and opinions confidently. We want the children to read for pleasure, having had access to a wide range of text types, genres and authors in order for them to make informed opinions about their favourites. We recognise that children need to be introduced to and develop decoding and fluency skills in order for them to become confident readers. At the same time, we will develop a love of the written word and understand that reading and writing skills go hand in hand.
At our school, we follow the Monster Phonics scheme. This is an award-winning, multi-sensory phonics programme which uses colour to consistently code for key graphemes in English. It is unique, in that it uses character (monster) phoneme cues and colour-coding to represent the long vowel sounds, silent letters and tricky letters.
