READING AT BATLEY PARISH
At Batley Parish we teach reading as a discrete subject. Reading skills are taught in whole class lessons from Y2 to Y6 with the aim of teaching children to be succedssful active readers.. The diagram below shows the complex skills children need to acquire to become confident active readers.
We use a range of reading characters to help children to understand the different types of learning required in their lessons.
READING PASSPORTS
We have selected a range of texts of different genres that we think children shopuld read in each year group from Reception to Yera 6. These form our reading passports. When children have completed a book, they get a new stamp in their passport. There are nine books to read in each year group.
