Reading

At Markyate Village School, we believe that the teaching of reading is integral to a child’s understanding and appreciation of the world around them; a platform that allows our children to see beyond what they know, share in cultural experiences and develop the vocabulary they need to effectively express themselves. Our reading curriculum strives to foster a lifelong love of reading.

What does Reading Look Like in our School ?                                                            We have a Geo-Dome in the quad area. This provides an additional special area for children to read. 

KS1 and LKS2 Reading/Book Clubs

Each week, children can choose to join our reading clubs which are run at lunchtime. Our Year 6 Reading Champions lead the weekly KS1 reading club which is very well attended. There is also a LKS2 club which is run by a member of staff. It is wonderful to see the children growing their love and curiosity of reading as we see reading for pleasure as being so important in our school.
