Reading

At Unity Primary we believe that all children can become fluent readers and our English curriculum supports children to become enthusiastic and skilled readers of a range of genres.   

Reading is at the heart of our curriculum, and we aim for every child to develop a love of books and reading. We believe all children, from Nursery to Year 6, benefit from hearing excellent books read aloud well. Our teachers select appealing, high-quality texts for reading aloud, which draw children in, help them experience the magic of books, and enable them to access texts which they cannot yet read independently.  

We work with Manchester Libraries and other partners to ensure that children ensure author visits and author-themed enhancement activities.
