Reading
Reading is a fundamental skill which continues to develop as a child’s journeys through our school. At Woolston Brook we believe that being able to read is essential to developing our pupil’s to be life long learners.
Sharing reading pieces is a weekly activity at Woolston Brook from Primary to KS4. In Primary children access phonic lessons and guided reading. In Secondary, novels and subject-based reading is embedded into their curriculum. All Key Stages are invited to use our wonderful library and borrow any book of their choice to share at home.
