At Saint Sebastian's we use the Read Write Inc. program which is proving extremely successful in helping our children develop their abilities and enjoy the wealth of information found all around them. All children are encouraged to enjoy and value reading. Children begin to bring their reading books home in Reception, and are given a book bag to keep the books safe. Children in Reception and Key Stage 1 are paired with a Reading Buddy from Key Stage 2 so that children can enjoy reading together and encourage one another. We have a well-stocked, computerised library which children and their families are encouraged to visit regularly, and children are given the opportunity to be Librarians during their time at the school. In KS1, we use a wide range of reading books from different schemes and do not follow one scheme in particular.
