Reading
At Highburton First School, we believe that reading is a fundamental part of education. Children that read for pleasure and enjoy reading achieve more at school, in every subject area. Reading is a very important life skill and one that everyone uses everyday!
A love of reading is the biggest indicator of future academic success.

Picture Books
Each class have been given some money to spend on picture books for their reading areas. Story time is a very important part of our day. Every class is read at least one story daily by staff. This is to ensure that children are given the chance to enjoy books, stories and poems. Children are also given the chance to read independently at different times throughout the day.
BOOM READER - Digital Reading App
We are moving to digital reading records for our children. This is to help with children losing and misplacing reading records. When you read with your child or your child reads themselves you can record this on their app.
