Reading

At Ravenshall we believe that all our pupils, regardless of their special educational needs can learn to read. Through our bespoke and personalised curriculum all our children are given the opportunity to learn to read at a level appropriate for them.

At the heart of this philosophy is our aim to promote a love of reading, immersing them in a literacy and language-rich environment, whilst developing their reading skills through carefully designed teaching activities that utilise a range of high interest texts and engaging stories. Reading, even at a simple level, helps us to make sense of the world around us and enables our learners to access and make progress in most other areas of the curriculum. Many of our pupils struggle to embed reading skills and require daily practice and routine to make progress. As reading for many of our pupils may look different there may be more than one route to becoming readers.

The Masked Reader

World Book Day - The Masked Reader - Staff dressed up as different characters to read their favourite book, classes then watched and voted on who they thought each character was and who their favourite was. The results were revealed in a nail-biting whole school assembly to see which character was crowned 'The Masked Reader' champion.
