Our vision
At Westbury Park School, we celebrate reading and recognise its importance as a key part of early childhood development. We value effort and success in reading, celebrate the way imaginations bring reading to life and encourage making reading a part of our daily life and learning.
Reading is the key to unlocking learning as children grow and, at Westbury Park, we encourage children to engage in books, story telling and performance and foster a love of reading that grows as children move through the school. Reading for pleasure is such a huge part of our school and, when children find that favourite author or treasured story, it enables them to connect with story telling in a personal and wonderful way. We strive to encourage children to find a passion for reading that goes beyond the four walls of the classroom.
Our aim is that all children at Westbury Park School are
-able to read fluently, both aloud and in their head, comprehend, predict and summarise at an age appropriate level;
-inspired to enjoy a love of reading and are able to choose reading material that excites them.

我们的愿景
NO OUTSIDERS
We are a No Outsiders school. We immerse children in some incredible texts through our use of No Outsiders within class and key stage assemblies. Children are encouraged to discuss the issues that arise within the stories and work together to respond to the text through discussion, role play and sharing the texts as a group.

WRITING LESSONS
Engaging literature forms the foundation of all our writing lessons from Reception to Year 6: whether it is the beautiful story of Star in a Jar or the darkly brilliant fairy tale of Hansel & Gretel, children are immersed into texts before being introduced to new genres and pieces of writing. We follow the structure: Immerse, Analyse, Plan, Write giving children the opportunity to really enjoy and appreciate the book before having the chance to write and express their ideas.

CLASS BOOKS
Every class has a class book that is read to them by their teacher purely for enjoyment. You can spot what each class is reading right now by looking at their classroom door!These books are chosen by the class teacher, sometimes in conjunction with the children and sometimes using inspiration from lessons in the curriculum. Children are encouraged to listen, enjoy and truly get lost in the world of the story.
READING LESSONS
We teach the skills for comprehension through the use of high quality texts. We draw on exciting stories, thoughtful poems and interesting non fiction extracts and base our comprehension lessons on these. Each lesson follows are clear structure: Read, Model, Practice, Apply giving children opportunities to engage in new texts and learn from the adults modelling how to interpret questions. Partner and class discussion play a vital role in these lessons. Every class then has a copy of the full text used to add to their class library for independent enjoyment.

阅读清单
以下建议绝不是详尽无遗的，实际上只是触及了市场上可用的大量优秀文献的皮毛。 然而，我们希望在决定购买一本书或带孩子去图书馆时，它们可以成为有用的指南。
阅读清单已按年级组织，随后是 Love4Reading 网站选择的推荐书籍；这些绝不是规定性的，因为当然，并不是所有的孩子都会根据他们的实际年龄进行阅读。 4-6 年级的阅读清单包含一些较旧的书名，可能不太熟悉。尽管如此，它们的作者在撰写高质量文学作品方面有着良好的记录，我们希望您能从中发现一颗宝石，成为您孩子的最爱。
