At Crockenhill Primary School, reading is paramount and is a key driver for our curriculum.

It is our intention to ensure that by the end of their primary education, all pupils are fluent, independent and confident readers across the curriculum, which will prepare them well for the next stages of education. Therefore, we intend to encourage all pupils to read widely across both fiction and non-fiction to develop knowledge of themselves and the world in which they live; to establish an appreciation and passion for reading; to gain knowledge across the curriculum; and to develop their inference and comprehension skills. We are committed to providing vocabulary-rich, challenging and enjoyable reading material for all of our pupils.

At Crockenhill School, we follow the Twinkl, Department for Education Approved, Phonics Scheme.  Children in years R - 3 currently receive daily phonics lessons.  Children are working at a level specific to their ability, rather than being dictated by their Year group.  Consequently, the phonics groups will consist of children across a range of year groups.  If you are in any doubt as to which level/group your child is following, please contact your child's class teacher.
