Listening to a reader accessing phonics (decodable texts)

How to listen to a reader in KS2

“Reading is to the mind, what exercise is to the body.” 
 

At Busill Jones Primary school we believe in developing a love of reading for pleasure. We provide our pupils with opportunities for independent reading, teacher led reading and a range of social reading environments. Pupils who read on a regular basis in school - and at home - have a higher chance of fulfilling their academic potential.   

    

Reading permeates all areas of the curriculum and school life.  Opportunities for independent reading, and reading as a class, are integrated into the curriculum. A wide variety of texts are available in order to provide pupils with a range of reading options.

Inspirational Author Visit from  ‘Jay Blades’ Spring 2024

 

Pupils in KS2 at Busill Jones Primary School recently had the privilege of hosting a special guest, Jay Blades, renowned host of ‘The Repair Shop’. Interviewed on stage by Mrs Honeyghan, Jay, an inspiring figure, shared his personal journey of overcoming dyslexia, emphasizing the importance of resilience and determination. The children were captivated as he recounted his experiences of meeting and working with King Charles, Dame Judy Dench, Leanne of Little Mix, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mary Berry and Sir David Jason (to name a few).

 

A highlight of the visit was Jay's discussion on his passion for writing books. He spoke eloquently about his literary journey, weaving tales of creativity and wisdom. The students were enthralled by his stories and left with a newfound appreciation for the written word.

Jay didn't just share his achievements; he also delivered uplifting messages aimed at inspiring the young minds. His encouraging words resonated with the students, fostering a sense of belief in their own abilities. The visit left an indelible mark on the school, reinforcing the idea that challenges can be overcome, and dreams can be realized through perseverance and a positive mindset.

The Busill Jones Primary School community is grateful for Jay Blades' visit, as it not only enriched the students' understanding of resilience but also ignited their imaginations and sparked a passion for creativity and wisdom.
