Reading at Seahouses Primary

The majority of children in KS1 will continue with daily phonics sessions. Please click here for more information on phonics and early reading at Seahouses Primary School. Children in KS2 who still require daily phonics will also continue to access Read, Write Inc. 

Once the children complete the phonics programme they will take part in 'shared reading' lessons where a quality text is used to support children to develop the skills they need to decode and comprehend an unfamiliar text. The children practise applying the skills required across the content domains both independently and as part of rich partner or class discussions. They enjoy listening to reading being modelled as well as applying the skills to perform a text themselves. 

Home Reading

We provide the children with three texts each week. These include the following: 

- A levelled reading book that has been allocated to your child based on recent reading assessments in school. 

- A book of their choice from our well-stocked library. 

- A book for pleasure. This book may or may not be at the child's reading level but will be a book they wish to read for enjoyment.
