At St. Peter’s Elwick Primary School we believe that reading should be a fundamental part of childhood and a skill which should be developed to support lifelong learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our aim is to develop and embed a strong, sustainable reading culture within the school community. Confident and competent readers will foster a love of reading through a rich and varied experience of texts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inspiring children to read is their fundamental right. It underpins all learning and secures a good trajectory for personal development and an understanding the world in which they live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a school, we promote reading for pleasure in a number of ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
