We make sure that we PRACTISE our reading skills every day (Predict, Retrieve, Ask\/Answer questions, Clarify, Think\/visualise, Infer, Summarise, Enjoy). We also use Renfrewshire\u2019s Dive Into Reading Approaches. Our Marvellous Reading Challenge encourages children to read more. Pupils learn to talk and listen to each other through many opportunities to work cooperatively, engage in discussions and debates, perform\/talk to an audience and to listen and respond to texts and media.<\/p>\n<p>We also have a Marvellous Readers Challenge with children rewarded for all the reading they do.
