'Reading Update and Support Session - Parents/Carers'.

This is currently scheduled for 3.45-4.30pm on Thursday 8^th May 2025.

The presentation from our previous session "Supporting your child in reading" is linked below.

The ability to read effectively is fundamental to many aspects of life and is crucial to our students’ understanding and progress across a wide range of areas of the curriculum. The teaching and development of reading is, therefore, a central priority of all staff and stakeholders.  At Corley Academy, all Curriculum staff are teachers of Literacy and embed opportunities for developing reading in their interactions with students.  Reading develops imagination, experiences and supports conceptual learning. Our reading strategy demonstrates the inextricable link we recognise between reading and communication, developing an understanding that words have meaning, power and consequences. In order to promote this, learners are provided with a language-rich environment, conducive to supporting the acquisition of reading skills at every level.  In addition, we seek to foster in our students a lifelong love of reading where students can find inspiration, pleasure, strength, cultural awareness and a deepened sense of identify and community.
