Reading
At The Abbey, we are committed to developing the reading skills of our students through a clear, consistent, whole school approach. Reading is a vital life skill, impacting directly on a person’s independence and success as a lifelong learner. Our drive is for every student to leave The Abbey as a confident, competent and functional reader who finds enjoyment in whatever they read.
As a school, we work together to develop students’ ability to communicate, read and use language. We acknowledge the significance reading has on progress in all other areas of the curriculum and how it is crucial to building an individual’s self-confidence and motivation to learn.
The Abbey School is on a journey to being a highly successful Reading School with the vision, ‘Together we Read.’ Our aim is to support students in overcoming barriers to reading and developing a positive reading culture enriched with memorable experiences.
We aspire to ensure that all students leave The Abbey reading to the very best of their ability but also to have developed a love of reading that will last a lifetime!
