READING
The teaching of reading in our English Curriculum aims to promote high standards of reading through clear progressive planning and effective teaching. We will share our own enthusiasm for books with the children to inspire them and help them to develop their own love of reading.
We teach reading to enable pupils to become enthusiastic and critical readers, to read fluently, confidently and with understanding. To develop the children’s stamina when reading and to ensure that the life skill of reading is secure, in order to access all other curriculum areas.

WRITING
The teaching of writing forms a major part of the English Curriculum, at St John's we aim to promote high standards of writing, through clear progressive planning and effective teaching.
We aim to promote self-confidence, so that pupils feel able to communicate their ideas effectively in writing, whilst gaining skills and confidence in the use of grammar, punctuation and spelling.
