 Introduction

Our aim in English is to develop all aspects of literacy; pupils spoken language, reading, writing and vocabulary thus building a foundation for success in all subjects. Literacy at Spellbrook is exciting, diverse and creative and provides all children with the chance to develop their skills whilst being engaged in their learning. We believe literacy is both a subject in its own right and a medium for teaching.  For pupils, understanding of language provides access to the whole curriculum. Reading is a key focus of the school. We strive to ensure that every child can read accurately, fluently and with understanding by the end of key stage 1. A love of reading is promoted throughout the school. We believe that reading is the key to opening up the rest of the broad curriculum and allows children to access and enjoy all other areas of their learning.
