Reading is very important to us at Summerhill Primary Academy.  We believe that a love for reading will support a pupil's progress and attainment in all aspects of the National Curriculum.

DEAR

In school we have dedicated D.E.A.R time - Drop Everything And Read! Every day every child will have a dedicated time when they are engaged in a text. This allows high quality reading to be modeled to each child every day.

Story Zoo

Every child in school has access to Story Zoo, this gives access to a wide range of virtual books. The more the children read the more coins they earn to populate their own 3D zoo.

The benefits for the children are:

• A Love for Reading:

  Start loving reading from an early age, discovering new interests and hobbies through books.

• Boost Your Skills:

  Improve your reading speed, comprehension, and vocabulary, setting you on a path to success.

• Expand Your World:

  Gain wider general knowledge and exposure to different cultures, increasing your curiosity and empathy.
