PHONICS
At St Alban’s C of E Academy we are committed to the delivery of excellence in the teaching of Phonics. We aim to develop each child so that they are able to read with fluency as well as develop a love of reading that will stay with our children all their lives.

Reading
Being a confident reader; understanding what is read and being able to read to acquire new knowledge has a direct impact on our children’s skills for not only the next stage of their education but also their future life opportunities. Individual reading books are colour banded in accordance with the Oxford Reading Tree scheme so that home reading books can be selected appropriately for pupils to practise their reading skills independently. Reading becomes an integral part of classroom learning opportunities and children are encouraged to respond to texts on a personal level.
