Reading for Pleasure
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go.”
Dr Seuss
Intent
At Knutton St Mary’s CE Academy, we aim to enable children to become not only able, confident readers, but to develop a love of reading which will stay with them for life.
International research has shown that reading for pleasure is important for both academic progress and personal growth. Children who read for pleasure, use their imagination to explore new ideas, visit new places and meet new characters. Subsequently, this helps them to develop empathy, understanding and tolerance
