Literacy
At Leamington we follow
the New Literacy Framework and other guidance
to enable quality learning and teaching to take
place. We believe that language and literacy is
fundamental to the overall development of the
child and their access to the curriculum in all
its aspects. We aim to deliver quality teaching
of basic and higher order reading, writing and
listening skills to enable children to become
confident and successful in their literacy. We
want all our pupils by the end of Year Six to
be able to:
- read and write
with confidence, fluency and understanding;
- be aware of and
use a full range of reading cues (phonic, graphic,
syntactic, contextual) to monitor their reading
and correct their mistakes;
- understand the
sound and spelling system and use this to read
and spell accurately;
- have fluent and
legible handwriting;
- have an interest
in words and their meaning and a growing vocabulary;
- know, understand
and be able to write in a range of genres in
fiction and poetry, and understand and be familiar
with some of the ways in which narratives are
structures through basic literary ideas of setting,
character and plot;
- understand, use
and be able to write a range of non-fiction
texts;
- plan, draft, revise
and edit their own writing;
- have a suitable
technical vocabulary through which to understand
and discuss their reading and writing;
- be interested in
books, read with enjoyment and evaluate and
justify their preferences;
- learn by making
mistakes;
- take part in mind
friendly activities and have fun.
