Parkside Community School - Text Map

At Parkside Community Primary School, we believe that reading is an essential life skill, and do our best to ensure pupils are given the greatest opportunities to develop this, in the hope that they will become life-long readers, who read confidently for meaning and regularly enjoy reading for pleasure, with the skill set necessary to tackle everyday situations that rely on reading. We encourage our children to see themselves as readers both for pleasure and purpose.

Text Map - Books

At Parkside Community Primary School we believe that all children can become fluent readers and writers. This is why we teach reading through Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised, which is a systematic and synthetic phonics programme.
