#KPS Loves Reading

We aim to help the KPS children become thoughtful, critical, and motivated readers who use reading for both enjoyment and learning and enable them to:

• Understand and interpret texts by finding meaning, making connections, and drawing conclusions.
• Enjoy and engage with a wide range of texts for pleasure, learning, and personal growth.
• Develop critical thinking by questioning, analysing, and evaluating what they read.
• Use reading to learn across the curriculum, applying skills to gather information and deepen knowledge.
• Appreciate language and style by recognising how writers use words, structure, and techniques.
• Reflect and respond to texts, sharing opinions and personal reactions.

The teachers plan engaging and effective reading lessons and learning experiences to:

• Support learners to read for understanding, enjoyment, and engagement.
• Develop skills to interpret, analyse, and evaluate a wide range of texts.
• Encourage use of reading as a tool for learning across the curriculum.
• Foster appreciation of language, structure, and author’s craft.
• Promote reflection, response, and discussion of personal viewpoints.
