National Curriculum Most pupils will not need further direct teaching of word reading skills: they are able to decode unfamiliar words accurately, and need very few repeated experiences of this before the word is stored in such a way that they can read it without overt sound-blending. They should demonstrate understanding of figurative language, distinguish shades of meaning among related words and use age-appropriate, academic vocabulary.

Children's reading is a priority. Children practice their reading skills through: Reading aloud to an adult every day. Whole Class Reading sessions daily. Daily Phonic Sessions - if required. Independent reading books. Stories being read by an adult. Non-fiction and Fiction books connected to The Story of London.

'I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full.' Mark 10:10
