Novel Study
In Key Stage Two, we teach Reading through the Novel Study approach, where we carefully select a high-quality text to study in depth. Novel Study enables the children to know more about authors and their intentions for the audience, to remember more about vocabulary (enriching their own) and to understand how to use and apply their reading skills – to impact upon their reading comprehension progress. Throughout the process of Novel Study, the children develop a clear understanding of a text, which subsequently impacts on their linked writing and, as a result of the approach, a passion for reading is fostered in the children.
