Dysart School is a symbolic, word and language rich environment which aims to foster a love of reading for all. The teaching of Reading is a vital skill for everyone and is the gateway to all learning.
At Dysart School we are experts in supporting the early skills required to read. We advocate that the development of reading is crucial to our pupil’s success across their education as well as having the skills to navigate the wider world. We aim to foster a love of reading by providing pupils with daily opportunity to develop the tools required for reading in order to work towards the skills required to decode words and engage with high quality texts.
The school has a book and toy library that is filled with a breath of materials to support skills for pre-reading and reading and can be accessed by all class groups across the week.
By immersing the students within a symbolic and word rich environment we aim to enable them to develop into functional and fluent readers.
At Dysart School our aim is for all students to develop a love of Literacy and to be able to communicate clearly and confidently to the best of their ability. Our core aim is to teach pupils the tools to achieve functional Literacy skills in order to access the wider world with confidence and independence.
We aim to ensure reading and the skills required to read is embedded widely across the Rainbow Curriculum and throughout a learner’s day.
At Dysart School phonics is taught in regular sessions via the Read Write Ink programme s. Phonics summative assessments are conducted for all pupils on our semi-formal and formal curricula pathway. Students work either 1:1 or in small groups to ensure that learning is pitched to the appropriately. Dysart teachers are skilled at adapting the Read Write Ink programme to ensure that learning is bespoke and engaging for our pupils, allowing pupils to progress and make the steps towards becoming confident readers.
