READING
“Reading for pleasure is more closely associated with intrinsic motivation; it is reading that children do for themselves at their own pace, with whom they choose and in their own way.”
NATE Primary Matters Summer 2019
Our aim is to develop a lifelong love of reading in our children and community. We are all readers. Everyone is supported to be a reader. Reading for pleasure is knowing our children as readers and providing for their needs. Reading for pleasure is learner lead, informal, social and with texts that tempt.
