Intent:

As a result of our reading progression our children are exposed to high-quality texts with rich and varied language which will enhance their vocabulary across the curriculum. They will develop skills to work out meaning of new words and gain the knowledge to apply these words in new contexts. As a result of our reading progression our children will read a variety of different texts and genres highlighting many moral and social issues. It will allow them to develop their empathetic nature through exploring character’s feelings and motives.

We will also use challenging texts which encourage our children to improve their stamina in reading and encourage their resilience to develop. As a result of our reading progression our children will be able to name and talk about different authors and poets as see them as ‘powerful and influential people. They will be able to identify and explain the differences between different genres both fiction and non-fiction. They will be able to talk about literature from different Cultures and suggest reasons for author’s choices.
