Children leave Key Stage 2 as competent readers with a shared love of stories and a secure understanding of what they have read. Every teacher in our school has been trained to teach reading, so we have the same expectations of progress. Discuss the pictures, enjoy the story, predict what might happen next, use different voices for the characters, explore the facts in a non-fiction book. At Wooburn Green Primary School, it is our aim that every child will learn to read, no matter what barriers they may have to their learning.

Pupils are able to engage in discussions about plots and characters, recommend a book to a peer and evaluate an author's use of language and the impact this has on the reader.

Big Cat Phonics for Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised has been developed in collaboration with Wandle Learning Trust and Little Sutton Primary School. There may be a number of reasons why children in Year 2 and beyond are not yet able to decode confidently or read fluently. All children have daily opportunities to read a variety of material in school, including regularly with an adult. Reading notes within the book provide practical support for reading with children, including a list of all the sounds and words that the book will cover.
