Reading
At Markyate Village School, we believe that the teaching of reading is integral to a child’s understanding and appreciation of the world around them; a platform that allows our children to see beyond what they know, share in cultural experiences and develop the vocabulary they need to effectively express themselves. Our reading curriculum strives to foster a lifelong love of reading.
Key Stage 1 Book Club
On Wednesday’s, after school has finished, our Key Stage 1 library comes alive again with children reading and enjoying the books that are stored on the shelves in there. The children are there as part of our Key Stage 1 Book Club, which has proved very popular with the children throughout the term. The sessions are led by Mrs Mason, who is a parent and school governor, and the latest book she has been looking at and reading with the children is titled, Blob. The children have been talking about their favourite bit of the story and they have drawn pictures about what they think might happen next.
