Our 30 minute reading slot in 60 seconds⏳📚
At the core of our Prep School is a strong belief in the transformative power of reading. Every day in Year 3-6, children enjoy a dedicated 30-minute reading session — a calm, purposeful time where books take centre stage.
During these sessions, teachers regularly listen to the children read, offering guidance, encouragement and thoughtful discussion to develop fluency, expression and comprehension.
Last week, we were also delighted to launch a new mentoring initiative with @stedwardscheltenham
Beginning with Year 4, senior students joined us to listen to our readers. Mrs Monk shared - “It was a really lovely first session... they were hugely impressed with the fluency of the readers and the diverse range of books being read. They are looking forward to coming back next week!”
