Reading at Smitham

Reading is a vital skill that will support children’s learning across the whole curriculum at Smitham. As a school, we will ensure that the children are taught fluency, accuracy and understanding through a variety of cross-curricular learning opportunities. Above all, we want the children at Smitham to become enthusiastic, independent, reflective readers and we want to instil in them a love of reading that will last a lifetime.
