At St Paschal Baylon School, we believe that reading is a fundamental life skill that can enhance a child’s life forever. We place huge emphasis on the importance of reading and on making it a fun and enjoyable experience. Our aim is to instil a love for reading in all children by encouraging them to read widely and be exposed to a variety of genres. Reading across all subjects within the curriculum will further develop children’s fluency and allow them to become both independent and reflective readers.
