At Bonnygate, we are dedicated to fostering a love of reading in our children. We aim for our students to summarize what they've read, select books independently, and read for pleasure and understanding. With initiatives like improved library spaces, guided reading sessions, individual reading time, and access to online resources like Bug Club, our children will thrive as readers. Our program includes daily phonics lessons and themed reading days, ensuring that every child progresses through the appropriate book bands. Regular practice at home bolsters their skills and confidence.
