How we support reading
We regularly monitor all students’ reading abilities through the Star Reader test. This ensures that every child receives the support they need to be successful, whether that involves:
-
Additional tuition in small intervention groups
-
Taking part in one of our reading clubs
-
Entering the Lancashire Book of the Year Award
Every student is read to by their form tutor twice a week. In Years 7 and 8, pupils also attend a library reading lesson once a fortnight. These lessons provide the chance to:
-
Receive expert advice from our librarians
-
Access one-to-one support
-
Monitor progress using Accelerated Reader
-
Explore our extensive catalogue of books
Our commitment
Staff at LSA are dedicated to delivering excellence in every lesson. We provide regular training so that teachers stay up-to-date with the latest research on teaching reading effectively across the curriculum. This helps us ensure that students thrive as readers in every subject area.
One of our key priorities is to develop oracy and communication skills. We want our students to be articulate, confident, and accurate in their speaking and writing across all areas of school life.
Working together
Supporting your child’s reading at home is one of the most powerful ways you can help them succeed. At LSA, we believe a collaborative approach to literacy between school and home gives every student the best chance to achieve, building confidence, independence, and success across all subjects.
