The development of reading skills is at the heart of the curriculum at Bridekirk. Reading, as a child, has so many benefits. The academic benefits of vocabulary development and improved comprehension and the emotional benefits of increasing emotional intelligence which builds self-esteem and confidence.
Every half-term the children who have been recognised for excellence in independent reading receive a certificate in our awards assembly. Some children have demonstrated fantastic improvement; some have read with excellent comprehension; some have read challenging titles and others have read regularly at home.
Well done to the children receiving an award in December.
