Reading At Broughton we value reading and have created a literacy rich environment. Each term we have a reading focus for the whole school and have created an engaging, progressive and challenging reading programme for our pupils. We promote reading for enjoyment, author visits, high quality discussions, in depth text analysis and regularly celebrate the achievements of our pupils. • within this context where appropriate the LC team provide opportunities for both individual, group and mainstream programmes • Emphasis on visual communication

Cursive Handwriting Improves spelling (When a child learns a word by writing it as a complete word, muscle-memory helps the child remember how to spell the word, as they remember how the word feels, looks and sounds. ) Improves grammar (Eventually, it is easier to see the full word and use the correct spacing which makes it easier to know where to punctuate. ) Boosts self-esteem (Improvements in spelling and overall presentation lead to an increase in self-esteem. )

Home Learning At Broughton, after consultation with pupils, staff and parents, we are agreed that home learning tasks should be • Relevant , varied, manageable. • Changes to LC homework- depending on the needs of the child and inline with adaptive curriculum. • Reading and spelling will be sent home weekly after the October holidays.
