At St Michael’s, our aim is for all of our children to become fluent and enthusiastic readers. In the earliest stages of their time with us, we want children to develop a love and passion for reading and to provide them with the skills they need to decode words quickly and efficiently, opening up the entire curriculum.

As a school, we share a wide range of texts from diverse authors, portraying an equally wide range of inclusive images, designed to engage and excite all children. Books to share are carefully chosen by teachers to meet the interests of the children and to prepare them for their future in understanding the world around them.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.
