Reading Guidance KS1
“The rich reading curriculum on offer will incorporate a range of reading experiences to support the children’s reading development. These can be characterised as ‘reading to the children, reading with the children and reading by the children’ (Elborn 2015)” (The Power of a Rich Reading Classroom, CLPE, February 2020)
Teaching reading – explicit teaching of the knowledge and skills necessary for children to meet or exceed age-related expectations
