Text Selection at Girlington

At Girlington, reading is taught through whole class reading lessons and small group reading sessions. The focus of whole class reading sessions is based on teaching a combination of word reading and comprehensions skills. These skills are taught through a variety of high-quality texts that have been carefully selected across the whole school.

When selecting high quality texts, we use the following criteria:

• Books that are in line with or slightly above children’s reading age
• A focus on mainly fiction
• A range of diverse characters and themes
• Characters and themes that the children of Girlington can relate to
