Our Ethos
At Brookside School our aim is to embed a love of reading amongst our children. We strongly believe that reading underpins all areas of the curriculum and allows children to become independent and successful learners. This is why we prioritise reading at Brookside School with the implementation of the Read Write Inc scheme. We enable children to enjoy a breadth of texts and read for purpose and for pleasure, from Reception through to Year 6. Children start their school reading journey by being immersed in a variety of stories which facilitate high quality, cross curricular learning opportunities. Alongside our daily phonics and reading sessions, we strive to inspire our children with experiences such as author visits, library trips and by providing a reading-rich environment throughout their school experience.
