SHAKESPEARE JUNIOR SCHOOL

The library is at the heart of our school, both physically and metaphorically. Children are encouraged to read a variety of genres through the use of Year Group lending libraries, our reading curriculum and the books in the library itself. Through our English lessons, we teach pupils key reading skills and apply these to a range of texts. These rich texts are all used to stimulate the teaching of writing skills, ensuring that our writing is engaging and enjoyable for the children. These skills are then transferred to the wider curriculum. The exposure to a range of engaging texts ensure that there are opportunities to learn new vocabulary. We want every child to have access to a range of vocabulary to help close the disadvantage gap and to allow the children to move successfully onto..
