At Bower Grove we strive to ensure the development of reading so that pupils can:

· Read with fluency, accuracy, understanding and enjoyment

· Understand and respond to a wide range of texts; fiction, non-fiction and poetry

· Use research skills to find out information from text

· Improve their ability to analyse and critically evaluate texts

· Deduce, infer or interpret information, events or ideas from text

In this section of the website, you will find information pertaining to: the library, including our Reading Ambassadors; the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds phonics programme; the texts studied from Key Stage 1 to 4; and our Bower Grove Story-time initiative.
