Form Time Reading for Pleasure

All students participate in form time reading twice per week. Texts are chosen to be modern, interesting and full of points for discussion. Studies show that reading for just 20 minutes per day exposes you to over 1.8 million words per year.

The Day

Students can access The Day from home using the link below.

The Day is a rich and engaging online educational resource that turns news into lessons across five differentiated reading levels. Current news stories are presented in a student appropriate format with quizzes and videos to deepen understanding.

Reading Mentors

Our reading mentors are working with students who need a boost with their reading. Working in small groups using carefully levelled texts, the students’ vocabulary and comprehension skills are developed and nurtured.
