Early reading includes opportunities to develop communication by encouraging engagement, response and interaction with others.
At Newton Bridge Academy, we encourage our pupils to engage with reading through sensory stories, sharing songs and rhymes and through motivating activities designed to promote joint and shared attention. Using sensory elements and immersive experiences to bring stories to life enables all pupils to access books and develop their love of reading through shared experiences.
