At Lawley Primary our pupils have a guided reading session each day. These sessions are either adult led or independent. Guided reading texts are high quality and linked wherever appropriate to topics currently studied.
In EYFS and Key Stage 1 our pupils use Bug Club (Active Learning) online resources which are shared in class and can then be continued at home. Pupils are ability grouped according to their current phonic reading band, and the resources directly match this. Continuous ongoing assessment of pupils achievements with their phonic learning leads to the appropriate groupings of the pupils. Each pupil will work with the teacher and teaching assistant each week for guided sessions, and will then work on related independent activities for the other three sessions.
In Key Stage 2 our pupils use appropriate quality novels from a range of children's authors. They read with both the teacher and teaching assistant each week, and in the other sessions work independently using tailored reading comprehension questions from the same text.
