Reading is a fundamental part of everything we do at High Meadow with the explicit and systematic teaching of phonics at its core. Children are exposed to high quality texts across the curriculum and reading skills are taught explicitly in all year groups. Writing is taught though a range of exciting stimuli which includes books, film clips, artefacts, visitors, and real life experiences. Storytelling is at the core of how we teach writing.
